Pad/Mat/Foil Heating Elements
Calienté offers pad-style heating mats for energy-efficient spot heating, which includes constant wattage or PTC heaters using polymer thick film inks, etched foil, or wire as the conductive element. These heating elements are extremely thin (.011"/0.28mm typical), and are constructed with UL/CSA component recognition under file E226297. Element substrate materials include polyester (PET), polyimide and silicone, depending on your maximum operating temperature.
Calienté offers a variety of robust connection options, capable of carrying high amp loads and providing excellent pull strength, as well as finished-wire harnessing capabilities to connect with your power system. Calienté also designs thermostatic controls and thermal fuses that can be mounted directly to the heater for over-temperature protection. Or they can be spliced into the wiring harness for ambient temperature switching, giving you a complete thermal package.
