HOW TO SELECT?

1. Choose installation option
2. Select from Standard or Customize
3. Determine detailed specifications
4. Choose optional accessories
5. Test and prototype

1. Choose installation option

First, select from Clamping or Adhesive installation options. It is crucial to ensure the heater is properly installed with no gaps or air pockets between the heater and the contact surface underneath, as these gaps can cause hot spots and lead to premature heater failure. Clamping is required for heaters with watt density greater than 0.8W/cm² and is optional for other heaters.

2. Select from Standard Heaters or Customize Heaters

Next, for starters, it is typically more cost effective to select from our standard heater range for application testing. We have more than 10,000 standard heaters to select from, with more than 5,000 are cUL recognized. It is recommended for you to pick the heater that’s closest to your specification for proof-of-concept testing first before working on customized solution.

3. Determine detailed specifications

Then, define the specifications by considering the dimensions, voltage, temperature range, maximum watt density, and power required. For a more accurate estimation of the power, also account for heat loss factors through conduction, convection, and radiation. Use our online tool for a general estimation of the required power (W) through temperature rise to select a standard heater for initial testing.
