Polyimide Thermofoil Heaters

Thin, exible heating solutions from -200 to 200°C

Overview

• Polyimide (Kapton™) is a thin, semitransparent material

with excellent dielectric strength. Polyimide Thermofoil™

heaters are ideal for applications with space and weight

limitations, or where the heater will be exposed to

vacuum, oil, or chemicals.

• The lightweight heater has less thermal mass to improve

thermal response

• The thin profile with nearly infinite custom X-Y geometry

design options allows you to apply heat where it’s needed,

reducing operating costs

• Etched-foil heating technology provides fast and efficient

thermal transfer

• Customized options (i.e. SMT components, flex leads and

connectors) offer turnkey solutions to drastically reduce

assembly time and increase productivity

• Custom profiling gives uniform thermal performance

of the heating output to improve processing yields and

productivity

• UL and TUV component recognition available

• Suitable for vacuum environments (NASA-RP-1061)

• NASA approved materials for space applications

(S-311-P-079)

• Resistant to most chemicals: acids and solvents

• Radiation resistant to 106 rads if built with polyimide-

insulated leadwire (custom option)

• Very small sizes available

• Fluid immersible designs available (not standard)

• Optional built-in temperature sensors

Mounting Methods

• #12 PSA with aluminum backing

• Acrylic PSA with or without aluminum backing

• #15 epoxy

• BM3 shrink band

• Stretch tape

• Mechanical clamping

Typical applications

• Medical diagnostic instruments and analyzers

• Maintain warmth of satellite components

• Protect aircraft electronic and mechanical devices against

cold at high altitudes
