An etched foil heater is a type of flexible heating element created through a precision etching process on a thin substrate, typically metal foil. These heaters are made by patterning and etching a metal foil to create a precise conductive element on its surface.
Advantages of etched foil heaters:
- Very thin - they can be produced on very thin materials like polyimide, which can give an opportunity to provide very compact design and solution for application.
- Precise temperature control with quick heating properties.
- High power density. Etched foil heating elements offer up to twice the wattage density of wire wound heaters, making them suitable for applications requiring high power output.
- Customization. Here at Backer Calesco, we can customize the electrical properties, temperature output, and patterning to meet specific application requirements. Contact us today!
