PTC heating element SPECTRUM Sensors Controls

Our ATP Operation designs and manufactures custom heater assemblies that utilize solid-state PTC thermistor elements. PTC thermistors are truly remarkable for their ability to function as a self-regulating heating element and this characteristic makes them ideal for a wide range of heating applications. Because of the resistance versus temperature characteristics of PTC thermistors, the power consumed is nearly independent of voltage, ambient temperature, dissipation conditions and other parameters and these heating elements require no thermostat or additional control. PTC heaters can be combined in a variety of ways to heat flat surfaces, cylindrical areas and others shapes and sizes. Spectrum Sensors provide a variety of value-added services, such as extension leads and isolating the heating elements electrically in order to provide a finished solution that a customer can use right out of the box.

Features
