Watlow Electric Responsive Heater, Thin dimensions

Thin, ResponsiveHeater SetsS t a n d a rds ForP e rf o rmance andD u r a b i l i t y

The Watlow MI Strip is a thin, responsive heater that sets

unmatched standards for performance and durability.It makes

use of the most advanced heater construction techniques

including embedding a nickel chromium element wire in

Watlow's exclusive mineral insulation.Only 0.042 inches

(1.067 mm) thick, this layer of insulation brings the element

wire closer to the heater sheath.The result is heat flows easily

from the element wire to the sheath, thus allowing the wire to

run cooler than conventional heaters.

Performance Capabilities

• Sheath temperatures to 1400˚F (760˚C)

• Watt densities to 100 W/in2(15.5 W/cm2)

• Maximum voltage 480VÅ(ac)

Applications

• Solder pots

• Zinc die-casting equipment

• Dies and mold heating

• High temperature resins

• Tank and platen heating

• Ovens

• Packaging equipment

Features and Benefits

Higher watt densities

• Contribute to faster heat-up

Exclusive mineral insulation

•Combines high dielectric strength and superior thermal

conductivity which transfers heat rapidly to the sheath

304 stainless steel sheath

•Maintains the high compaction of mineral insulation and

produces a rigid heater
