Tempco Termination Options

Igloo Ceramic Terminal Covers

Igloo ceramic terminal covers consist of two ceramic parts. With a tight-fitting cap and a solid base, an Igloo cover will fully insulate any standard 8-32 or 10-32 terminal lug used for electrical wiring hookup. Igloo covers can be assembled onto any standard mica strips with 10-32 screw terminals. Igloo covers are available in 3 different styles: single port, double port in-line and double port 90°.

Type C: Terminal Box (General Purpose)

Terminal box has one 1/2″ trade size knockout (actual diameter 7/8″) for ease of wiring. It provides excellent protection against exposed terminals. Boxes can be prewired with armor cable or wire braid.
Type CA: Box only
Type CB: Box with galvanized cable
Type CC: Box with Stainless Steel cable
Type CD: Box with wire braid

Type P: Quick Disconnect Plugs

High-Temperature quick-disconnect plug. Available on 7/8″ widths (depending on termination configuration) and wider with cup and plug assembly or just cup.
Type P1Q shown with 90° plug and galvanized armor cable. Other options available. Consult Tempco.

Butt Case

Recommended for heating applications where strip heater will be placed in a milled slot between two steel plates.

Cross Section formed

Strip Heaters can be formed on their cross section for pipe heating applications. 2″ minimum width required. Specify diameter of pipe on which heaters are to be mounted.

Disc Heaters

When ordering Disc Heaters, specify outside diameter, electrical ratings, and termination type. If mounting holes are required, specify location and hole size.

Distributed Wattage

A mica strip heater can be designed with varying heat profile along the length for uneven heat distribution

Four Sides Closed

Mica Strip Heaters can be closed on all four sides to reduce contamination from getting inside the heater. Recommended on all strip heaters over 2-1/2″ in width.

Irregular Shape

Mica Strip Heaters can be made into any practical shape and electrical rating. We welcome your inquires.

Open Element

This economical heater design without the metal case is commonly used in laminating machines. The heater assembly can be suspended or sandwiched between non-metallic machine parts, eliminating the need for additional and expensive metal cases.

Pressure Plate

Strip Heaters can be made with built-in pressure plate to add rigidity and minimize warping of the heater. Standard plate thickness is 1/8″. Specify plate thickness and choice of mounting method 1, Built-In Pressure Plate, or mounting method 2, Separate Pressure Plate.

Ring Heaters

When ordering Ring Heaters, specify inside and outside diameters, electrical ratings, and termination type. If mounting holes are required, specify location and hole size.

Sinuated Element

Sinuated (Serpentine) wound coil design is used for low temperature and low watt density applications within the 3-10 amp range.
