Neltec® provides flexible electrical heating elements and a complete thermal management solution for surface heating substrates. By combining etched foil heaters and thermal protection systems with heatsink design, Neltec® produces fully assembled and functionally tested heater units. Alternatively, a simple flexible heater mat can be supplied in any shape and almost any size, voltage and wattage with lead assemblies and connectors.
These innovative and flexible Neltec® etched foil heaters incorporate:
- High-precision etched metal foil technology which allows electrical resistance control beyond the industry standards
- Thermostat, thermal fuse or thermistor control and protection
- Polyimide heaters, available in low moisture retention polyimide dielectric
- Kapton heaters, use Kapton® dielectric supplied by DuPont
- Polyester heaters, available in optical grade polyester dielectric
- Silicone rubber heaters, available in a variety of silicone rubber dielectric constructions including wearpad applications
- Environmentally secure multi-layer construction with operating temperature range from -195 to +230 °C
- Simple or complex shapes in a wide range of sizes engineered to bond direct to any surface or to custom heatsink assemblies
- Prototype and production quantities with rapid prototyping service available within 48 hours
- Special applications available in other dielectric materials (e.g. nomex) and wire wound heaters
