Pelonis Technologies, Inc. 1.10 Watt per Centimeter Square (W/cm²) Power Density and 0.57 Ampere (A) Current Ultra-Thin Flexible Heater TSA0250025gR21

The TSA0250025gR21 is an Ultra-Thin Flexible Heater from Pelonis Technologies, Inc., featuring a power density of 1.10 W/cm¬= and a current rating of 0.57 A. This heater is designed for efficient heat transfer, utilizing a thin construction that allows for uniform heating across its surface. It operates effectively in a wide temperature range, from as low as -200¬8C to a maximum of 210¬8C, making it suitable for various applications, including defense electronics, portable medical instruments, and automotive uses. The heater's lightweight design, with a thickness of less than 0.22 mm and a weight of approximately 0.04 g/cm¬=, makes it ideal for space-constrained environments. Its construction minimizes the risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and enhances reliability, as it does not produce high EMF or suffer from conductor breakage when bent. Installation is straightforward, requiring only the removal of the back adhesive for application to the desired surface. For optimal performance, especially at higher power densities, a pressure plate is recommended to ensure proper contact with the heated object. Engineers should note that the heater cannot be cut or trimmed, as this would disrupt the heating element and create an open circuit. Additionally, for applications requiring rapid heat-up rates, the integration of a temperature sensor or thermostat is advised to prevent overheating.
