Electrical terminations

High temperature plain leads

 

A1 Style: High temperature (840°F) fiberglass insulated wire is connected externally to the two solid pins exiting from the cartridge heater. A silicone impregnated fiberglass jacket insulates the connection.

 

A2 Style: To provide flexibility at the lead end, high temperature (840°F) leads are connected to the solid pins inside the cartridge heater.

 

A3 Style: A bracket having the same diameter as the cartridge heater provides a 90° exit to the fiberglass insulated high temperature wire. The bracket is potted with high temperature cement (480°F).

Screw terminals

PT Style: For high temperature applications, screw terminals (#10-32 is standard, other sizes are available) are silver-brazed to the 1” extended solid pins of a cartridge. This type of terminals are not recommended for cartridge heaters having less than ½”diamerter.

Teflon leads

TF Style: Internally connected Teflon leads (480°F) with Teflon plugs, protect the cartridge heater from contamination. High temperature black epoxy or silicone RTV seals are available too. A minimum cold section of 1” at the leads end is necessary to protect the Teflon leads from high temperature.
