Cartridge Heaters

Crimped-On Leads, Figure 253
A high temperature double crimp connects the MGT
(450°C) leads to solid nickel pins. This construction
is recommended for applications with elevated
temperatures.
Due to the rigid nickel pins, this
construction is not recommended in applications
where movement or flexing is encountered, or if sharp
bends are required adjacent to the heater exit
Swaged in Leads, Figure 254
High temperature MGT (450°C) wire is internally
connected and swaged in place. This construction is
recommended for applications in which the leads must
be bent at the exit point from the heater and where
mild flexing may be found.
For applications with
continuous or more severe movement, we would
recommend metal braid or armor cable.
Stainless Steel Braid,
Figure 255
High temperature MGT (450°C) wire is internally
connected and swaged in place along with stainless
steel braid. This construction offers protection against
abrasion and sharp edges.
This is a very strong
construction which offers full length flexibility. This
construction is recommended in applications with
flexing and where the leads must pass through metal
openings or routed along metal components.
Stainless Steel Armoured Cable (Hose), Figure 256
High temperature MGT (450°C) wire is internally
connected and swaged in place along with stainless
steel hose.
This construction is recommended for
applications in which the leads are subjected to
abrasion or run the risk of being pinched. This is the
strongest lead protection available and works well in
moving or flexing applications.
