Precision Wound Resistance Wire

Nickel Chromium coiled resistor (computer designed). Precisely wound to provide exact heat requirement. Each individual spiral being thoroughly chemically washed to eliminate contamination and give a longer element life.

Welded Connection

The connection between terminal pin and resistor is securely made by electronic welding or crimping.

Electrical Insulation

The resistor coil is centrally located during manufacture and insulated with high purity Magnesium oxide powder. When compacted by rolling or swaging, the magnesium oxide powder provides excellent thermal conductivity and dielectric strength.

Sheath Material

A selection of sheath material is available depending on individual customer’s requirements and applications. (Please see chart for options). All heaters are fully annealed to allow forming.

Sealing

All heaters are sealed during manufacture to protect against moisture absorption during storage. This will not however serve to protect against liquid infiltration and chemical attack. Various sealants are available for special conditions. Please consult factory for further assistance if you require any special needs.
