Thick Film Conduction Heaters

 
Thick Film Conduction Heaters
The Watlow® 430 stainless steel thick film conduction heater is ideal for many applications where fast response and uniformity are essential. A clamp-on, thick film heater provides the best possible combination of heat transfer, thermal efficiency, temperature response and uniformity in a low profile package.

This high-performance heater can be used in areas where space is limited or where conventional heaters cannot be used due to limited voltage and wattage combinations.

Thick film conduction heaters provide a low-profile in a variety of shapes including two-dimensional circular and rectangular forms. Direct contact of thick film heaters to surfaces ensures efficient heat transfer through thermally stable substrates and precise resistance trace patterns.
