General Performance/Design Criteria
Please review the criteria below to preliminarily determine if your heater design meets our capabilities and give us a call to discuss your options.
Design Criteria
Please review the criteria below to preliminarily determine if your heater design meets our capabilities and give us a call to discuss your options.
- Polyester maximum heater size = 17” x 35” | Polyimide maximum heater size = 17″ x 23″. Contact us if you require a larger heater than these requirements.
- Parts are shipped flat.
- Tolerance of cutline and features: +/-.050” under 24” and +/- .100″ over 24”.
- PTFE insulated wires.
- The material to be utilized is opaque (white) FR polyester up to 257°F / 125°C or non-FR polyimide up to 302°F / 150°C.
- The resistance tolerance is +/- 10% from nominal, measured at ambient.
- If selected, pressure sensitive adhesive is 3M 467/468.
- Wire attachment joints will be over potted to provide general insulating protection.
To help customers obtain prototypes heaters quickly and easily, we do not need CAD files or formal prints to design and fabricate parts. At a minimum, we require an image that shows what is needed from a physical size/shape. This includes:
- A photograph of a sketch on a sheet of paper
- A JPEG or PNG snip of a screen shot
- A PDF of a print
- A photo of another part
Remember that what you provide needs to have dimensions and sufficient information for us to replicate what you are needing.
