Description

 

Heater running on 220Vac, built with PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) technology to give reliable power and even heat distribution. With a maximum temperature of 80°C, this heater gives the precise control needed to keep temperature under control in a range of applications.

The compact size (80*30mm) and rectangular shape of this heater maximise the contact surface. The high-quality ceramic element ensures even heat distribution, helping to hold the temperature steady in small spaces such as electrical cabinets, incubators, greenhouses, animal kennels and so on. Unless the power supplied is already enough to generate the heat you want, it is advisable to use the device together with a thermostat (chosen to suit your needs), so that the temperature stays under control in every situation.

The device can also run on direct current. For details of temperature and current draw, refer to the technical specifications.

Technical specifications
  • 24Vdc supply: current draw 55mA max, 30°C
  • 30Vdc supply: current draw 80mA max, 40°C
Applications
  • Incubators and greenhouses:
    Being able to hold thermal conditions steady makes this heater ideal for incubation systems and small greenhouses.
  • Thermal control systems for sensitive electronic equipment:
    Protecting sensitive electronic equipment from temperature swings is crucial to keeping it working properly.
  • DIY projects:
    The versatility of this heater makes it perfect for DIY projects where holding a steady temperature is essential.
  • Animal kennels:
    Give a warm, comfortable environment in animal kennels during the cold months of the year.
  • Camera housings:
    Holding a steady temperature inside camera housings is essential to prevent condensation forming and to keep the recording equipment working properly and lasting.
