Silicone Rubber Fiberglass Insulated Heaters can improve heat transfer and speed warm-ups where controlled heating is required in confined areas. Two circuit designs are available: etched foil or wire wound.
Heaters with etched foil designed elements are available where the length or width dimension is less than 10" (254 mm). All other heaters where both the length and the width dimensions exceed 10" (254 mm) use the wire-wound element design.
Two general styles are covered in this manual. Round silicone rubber heaters and rectangular silicone rubber heaters.
