HOW TO SELECT?

1. Choose installation option
2. Select from Standard or Customize
3. Determine detailed specifications
4. Choose optional accessories
5. Test and prototype

1. Choose installation option

Select from Clamping or Adhesive. It is crucial to ensure the heater is properly installed with no gaps or air pockets between the heater and the contact surface underneath. These gaps will cause hot spots and may result in premature heater failure. Clamping is required for heaters with watt density > 0.8W/cm2, optional for other heaters.
 

2. Select from Standard Heaters or Customize Heaters

For starters, it is typically more cost effective to select from our standard heater range for application testing. We have more than 10,000 standard heaters to select from, with more than 5,000 are cUL recognized. It is recommended for you to pick the heater that’s closest to your specification for proof-of-concept testing first before working on customized solution.

3. Determine detailed specifications

When defining the specification, must consider the dimension, voltage, temperature range, maximum watt density and power required. For more accurate estimation of the power, also need to consider heat loss factors through conduction, convection and radiation.

For a general estimation of the required power(W) through temperature rise, use the online tool to select a standard heater for testing first.  

4. Choose optional accessories

Thermostats and heat sinks are also available for selection. Please see list provided on our website for selections available. https://www.ptc-heater.com.tw
