Specifications are typical. Final values depend on configuration and tolerances requested.
Our Miniature Cartridge Heaters are designed for applications requiring high watt densities in confined spaces. Constructed with a high-purity magnesium oxide (MgO) core and a durable stainless steel sheath, they offer superior heat transfer, high operating temperatures, and a long service life. The swaged construction results in a dense, compacted unit that is resistant to shock and vibration.
Key features include precision-wound nickel-chromium resistance wire for even heat distribution and a variety of lead wire terminations to suit any application. Each heater undergoes rigorous testing to ensure quality and performance standards are met.

FAQ
Based on their design for precision heating in small areas, common applications include:
Medical Devices: Surgical tools, diagnostic equipment, and fluid warming.
Aerospace: Instrumentation, de-icing, and component testing.
3D Printing: Heating the nozzle or "hotend" of the printer.
Semiconductor Manufacturing: Wafer processing and gas heating.
Packaging: Sealing bars and hot melt adhesive applicators.
Our micro cartridge heaters can safely operate at temperatures up to 760°C (1400°F). The maximum temperature can vary depending on the sheath material (Incoloy® offers higher temperature performance than stainless steel) and the specifics of the application.
Voltage is typically determined by the power supply of your equipment (e.g., 12V/24V for 3D printers, 120V/240V for industrial machinery).
Wattage determines the heat output. You need to calculate the thermal energy required for your process. A higher wattage provides more heat and faster heat-up times. It's crucial not to overpower the heater for its size, as this can lead to premature failure. If you're unsure, our engineering team can help you with the calculations.
