INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Heater Cartridge

A cylindrical heating element used in bonding tools for precise temperature control during material joining processes.

Component Specifications

Definition
A heater cartridge is a compact, cylindrical electrical heating device designed for insertion into bonding tools to provide localized and controlled heat generation. It converts electrical energy into thermal energy through resistance heating, enabling precise temperature regulation critical for processes like thermal bonding, soldering, or adhesive curing in industrial applications.
Working Principle
Operates on Joule heating principle: when electric current passes through a resistive element (typically a coiled wire), it generates heat due to electrical resistance. This heat is transferred through the cartridge body to the bonding tool, maintaining consistent temperature for material processing.
Materials
Stainless steel sheath (AISI 304/316), nickel-chromium (NiCr) or iron-chromium-aluminum (FeCrAl) resistance wire, magnesium oxide (MgO) insulation powder, copper or nickel lead wires, ceramic terminals.

  • Power 50-500W
  • Length 30-100 mm
  • Voltage 110-240V AC/DC
  • Diameter 6-12 mm
  • Response Time <2 minutes to operating temperature
  • Temperature Range 200-500°C
  • Resistance Tolerance ±10%
Standards
ISO 9001, DIN 44871, IEC 60335
