Accessories

Terminal Kit

Terminal kits are required to terminate the bulk tape into a finished heater assembly. To determine 1-wire or 2-wire, refer to the number of wires being terminated at the end of the heater. For example, to complete the heater in a parallel connection, two 1-wire terminal kits would be required because one lead exits from each end of the heater assembly.

Solderless Crimps

The “solderless crimps” are used to complete the non-lead end of the heater.

Transfer Tape

The Heat Transfer Tape is used to provide additional adhesion, placed over the heating tape.
