Special Leads Applications:

Placing the correct lead for each application is fundamental for the security and life of the cartridge heater. Excessive vibration and temperature wolid cause them to lose insliation and produce breakage and short-circuits.

Insulation Material Operation Temperature Useful Life High Temperature Vibration Hermetic
Silicone Rubber 302ºF / 150ºC Poor Poor Excellent Good
Fluoropolymer 392ºF / 200ºC Excellent Good Excellent Excellent
Fiberglass / Silicone 482ºF / 250ºC Good Good Poor Poor
Fiberglass / Mica / Silicone 752ºF / 400ºC Good Excellent Poor Good
Ceramic Bead Insulation 1200ºF / 650ºC Poor Excellent n/a n/a

Lead Wire Protection:

Protect your leads to avoid shocks, scratches, overheating, cleaning, contamination, cuts, explosive environments, moisture, etc. you will win in security and life will increase, giving extra professionalism to your project.
