Stainless Steel Heater Plates
For applications where space is limited, this thin profile heater offers superior structural properties and fast ramp up for high temperature applications. Stainless Steel is ideal where voltage and wattage combination precludes other types of resistive heaters.
- Low-profile heater up to 650°C
- Small, thin profile with exceptional flatness.
- Ability to be laser cut or machined to specifications.
- May be flexed or bent to 90° at non-insulated joints.
About Thick Film Stainless Steel
Fast and reliable, these low-profile heaters are found in print heads, handheld devices, and other applications with tight tolerances and tighter form factors drive design. Thick Film Stainless Steel heaters are a compact, lightweight solution that maximize operating efficiency. Available with an array of options including leads, attachments, and thermistors to customize performance to your application.
- For temperature applications up to 650 °C
- Can be machined into complex shapes and forms
- Power densities greater than 31 W/cm2 (200 W/in2)
- Low mass: fast temperature ramp up and cool down
- Low leakage current at low temperatures
- No out gassing with inorganic systems
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion
- Solid insulation properties due to glass encapsulation
Engineering services and consultation are available on every custom heating element order. Contact a specialist today for details.
