Silicone heater
MINCO

To complement our line of high-performance etched-foil heaters, Minco offers silicone rubber blanket heaters with wire-wound heating elements. The wire construction costs less in larger heaters and can reduce capacitative leakage current to meet medical apparatus design standards.

Available in standard and custom sizes to 12" x 70" (305 x 1780 mm), the new heaters have UL and Canadian UL component recognition to 250 V (600 V pending). Power ratings for standard size heaters range from 2.5 to 15 watts per square inch at 120 or 240 V.

One significant market for these heaters is anti-condensation in electric motors and generators. Minco stocks more than 40 sizes of strip heaters, along with stator RTD's and bearing sensors, to meet all the temperature monitoring and control needs of motor OEM's and repair shops.

Applications requiring high wattage, fast response, and greatest flexibility will continue to use etched-foil Thermofoil™ heaters, also stocked in a wide variety of sizes and insulation types.
