Elpor Steel Thick Film Heater Tech Spec

OverviewOptionsApplicationsTech Specs

Voltage
Elpor® Steel heaters can be custom designed to operate 2 to 240 volts.  Series and parallel resistive heater circuits, including dual-voltage configurations are available.

Wattage
Custom watt density designs are available, providing added efficiency and control.  Our engineers can design different sections of the Elpor® Steel heaters with different watt densities for surface temperature uniformity or to meet wattage targets in a given area of the heater.  Power densities up to 175 W/in2 or 27 W/cm2 are available.

Sensors
Heatron’s Elpor® Steel heaters can be combined with surface-mount thermistors or RTD’s for direct on-board feedback control. These SMT sensors on the heater can be provided with independent circuitry within the heater used to return the signal to the lead exit area, maintaining a desirable low profile.

Connecting Leads
Heatron’s Elpor® Steel heater can be supplied with power leads soldered directly to the board, or with intergral-faston or edge-type connection systems.  Wire gages typically used are in the 18 to 26 AWG range, but a broad range of connection hardware schemes are available depending on basic heater size and design.

Agency Approvals
Heatron’s Elpor® Steel heaters do not have specific agency approval, but have been built into many final assemblies and appliances that have US and international agency approvals.
