1. A thermoelectric heat exchanger component, comprising:

  • a circuit board;

    a plurality of thermoelectric devices attached to the circuit board, wherein two or more of the plurality of thermoelectric devices have different heights relative to the circuit board;

    a heat spreading lid over the plurality of thermoelectric devices; and

    a thermal interface material between the plurality of thermoelectric devices and the heat spreading lid;

    wherein the heat spreading lid is oriented such that the thickness of the thermal interface material, and thus a thermal interface resistance, is minimized for the plurality of thermoelectric devices.
