Datasheet
Minco has invested in the design time and fabrication tooling so
you can jump immediately to your prototyping efforts. The
following table outlines the specifications of previously
designed polyimide and silicone rubber Thermofoil™ heaters.
Minco's build-to-order turnaround time is typically 3 weeks
depending on quantity requirements. There is a limited available
inventory of a variety of part configurations which generally
allows us to meet your immediate delivery needs.
Contact Access: Minco Sales and Support to discuss mix and
matching heater sizes and resistance values to help satisfy
performance and lead time demands.
Specification options
Technical Specifications on pages 16 (polyimide) & 20 (rubber).
Temperature sensitive elements
Heaterstats™ (page 44) require temperature sensitive heating
elements, such as those found in the “NiFe” and “Ni”columns.
Their resistance increases with temperature. The resistances
listed are measured at 0°C (32°F).

Standard Polyimide and Rubber Heaters
Types 21, 30, and 31 have lead connections on an external tab. The
tab produces negligible heat and, in most cases, need not be adhered
to the heat sink. On type 21 heaters that are 0.25" (6.4 mm) wide, the
tab is the same width as the heated area.
