Heater Cartridge: Temperature Range 200-500°C, Diameter 6-12 mm

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.
