PCB heating element

[rlee53]

I have a Fuji/intersleeve shrink sleeving machine which has a PCB heating element used to heat splice the pvc sleeve material when changing rolls. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of these types of PCB heating elements?

I have never heard of a "PCB heating element". Where's a picture?

Are you referring to foil heaters?

All,

I don't know if I am using the right terminology. It looks like a printed circuit board to me, but brown not green, and instead of a conductive layer, it is a high resistance layer, with just a contact at each end. I'll try to get a picture.

Ah I see. Something like:

Then, you have a foil heater

I assumed foil is thin and flexible, the one I have is maybe 1mm thick and rigid. Is it still called foil?

IRstuff that was weird.

Your post was NOT there but rlee53's was. So I did the Minco thing. Now I come back and there is a 'new post' before rlee's... Yours.. Most strange.

Thanks to both you guys.

That picture looks more like a thick film heater on a steel substrate. I used to work for a company that made 'em. That one is probably destined for a kettle.

But is it an orangish substrate with copper foil etched on it?
