Electrical terminations

 

Mica band heaters are available with various types of electrical terminations. Each termination has its own unique characteristics, advantages and limitations. When selecting a termination style, the following factors must be taken into consideration: diameter, width, voltage, amperage, operating temperature, electrical safety and cost.

Termination categories

  • Screw terminals
  • Lead wire terminals
  • European plugs

Screw terminals

Stainless steel screw terminals are the most convenient and economical means to connect a heater to an electrical power source. They are mostly recommended when high amperages (up to 30 amps) are involved. The temperature limitation is 840°F.
