Mica Heaters
Mica Thermofoil™ heaters consist of an etched-foil element sandwiched between layers of mica. Installed by clamping to heat sinks, mica heaters provide the ultimate temperature and wattage capability for fast warmup.
Benefits of Mica Heaters
- Broad temperature range of -150º to 600°C (-238° to 1112°F) provides faster processing and cycle times for greater production output
- High watt density capability to 110 W/in² (17 W/cm²) provides faster processing times than conventional mica strip heaters
- Custom profiled heat density and mechanical clamping offers uniform heat sink temperature which can improve processing yields
- UL certification is available which can save time and money for end-use UL device recognition
Features of Mica Heaters
- Can be factory formed to curves
- Can be integrated with temperature sensors
- Clamp directly to heat sink for exceptional heat transfer
- Suitable for vacuum use after organic binder is burned off in initial power-up
- More technical specifications
Typical Applications
- Semiconductor processing
- Packaging, strapping, and sealing equipment
- DNA analysis (mica heaters used for rapid temperature cycling)
- Food service appliances
- Plastics and rubber molding supplemental heat
