Product overviewThe SS Type PTC air heaters are stainless-steel fin PTC heating elements available in single-fin and double-fin configurations. Heat output is regulated by airflow: increasing airflow raises thermal output and wattage. Units are supplied in standard sizes or can be customised in length, width and power for volume orders.
Key technical highlights- PTC chip standard length: 24 mm per chip.
- Standard heater thickness: 15 mm (≈16 mm with D-type silicone adhesive).
- Power per PTC chip: typically ≈12 W to 95 W depending on air speed and volume (example baseline at 3.3 m/s).
- Available configurations: Single Fin (single-row) and Double Fin (double-row) sets; multiple standard widths available (examples in model list).
- Smallest SS heater: 22 × 22.3 × 15 mm. Largest standard assembly example: 361 × 267.6 × 15 mm (16 mm with silicone).
Performance & electrical calculation- Current calculation: Current (A) = P / V.
- Max inrush: Max Inrush ≤ Current (A) × model factor (typical factors: 1.35–1.8 depending on model).
- Example: Model SS-108V0204B1 — P = 500 W, V = 110 V → Current = 4.54 A → Max Inrush ≈ 4.54 × 1.7 ≈ 7.73 A.
Selected model examples (single & double fin ranges)- Single fin examples (W × L × H / power ranges): SS-X04V0202B1 — 34.6±1.0 × 48 × 15 mm — 50–250 W; SS-X12V0304B1 — 46.9±1.0 × 96 × 15 mm — 300–800 W; SS-X40V0508B1 — 192 × 15 mm group — 1000–2500 W.
- Double fin examples (W × L × H / power ranges): SS-X01V0101B2 — 22.2±0.5 × 24 × 15 mm — 30–100 W; SS-X09V0303B2 — 65.4±1.0 × 72 × 15 mm — 300–800 W; SS-X48V0608B2 — 192 × 15 mm group — up to 4500 W.
- Tables on the product page list full model codes, dimensional tolerances, applicable max inrush factors and power @ 3.3 m/s for each model.
Customization & mechanical details- Length (L) calculation: L = 24 mm × number of PTC chips per set + tolerance (example: 24 × 5 + 1 = 121 mm).
- Width (W): combine standard single/double fin sets. Typical widths: single-fin set ≈12.3 ±1 mm; double-fin set ≈22.3 ±1 mm; account for extra fin widths when combining sets.
- Thickness (T): standard 15 mm; silicone adhesive increases thickness slightly.
- Silicone adhesive benefits: moisture protection, prevents electrode oxidation, reduces short-circuit/spark risk in high humidity, improves bonding and external finish.
Accessories & assembly options- Mounting frames: temperature-resistant plastic frames for easy integration (examples: MHF-93, MSHF-70 — check model fit by dimensions).
- Accessory packages: PTC + frame; or PTC + frame + fan + thermostat + fuse + terminal wire set + screws for pre-assembled solutions.
Certifications, ordering and notes- Certifications / compliances referenced: CE, UL/cUL, CSA; conformity to REACH and RoHS noted on documentation.
- CE recognition example: 200 V ~ 600 V range; maximum listed example 4500 W (refer to certificate details).
- Standard models highlighted in product tables have shorter lead times; bespoke wattage, dimensions and specifications available for large-quantity orders — contact sales with required P, V, target dimensions and mounting preferences.
