  Irregular Shapes
Mica Strip Heaters can be made into any practical shape and electrical rating. We welcome your inquires.
  Butt Case
Recommended for heating applications where strip heater will be placed in a milled slot between two steel plates.
  Four Sides Closed
Mica Strip Heaters can be closed on all four sides to prevent contamination from getting inside the heater. Recommended on all strip heaters over 2-1/2" in width.
  Sinuated (Serpentine) Element Design
Sinuated (Serpentine) wound coil design is used for low temperature and low watt density applications within the 3-10 amp range. Due to the design and tooling costs, this is economical only in large volume jobs.
  Cross Section Formed
Strip Heaters can be formed on their cross section for pipe heating applications. 2" minimum width required. Specify diameter of pipe on which heaters are to be mounted.
 

Open Element
This economical heater design without the metal case is commonly used in laminating machines. The heater assembly is sandwiched between machine parts, eliminating the need for additional and expensive metal cases.
 

Distributed Wattage
A mica strip heater can be designed with varying heat profile along the length for uneven heat distribution.
