Polyimide Heater Film 5V MECCANIXITY Lab Plate

Description

Product Overview

The MECCANIXITY polyimide heater film is a compact, self‑adhesive heating element designed for precise temperature control in laboratory and scientific applications. Measuring 34 mm × 18.2 mm (1.34 × 0.72 in) and weighing only 1.28 oz, the heater operates at a rated voltage of 5 V, delivering 2.8 W of power and reaching temperatures from 0 °C to 120 °C (248 °F). Constructed from a polyimide outer layer, metal foil, and embedded heating wire, it offers high insulation strength and excellent thermal uniformity. The package includes six heater plates, each with a 300 mm (12 in) lead wire for flexible placement.

Usage

This heater film excels in laboratory hot plates, constant‑temperature incubators, and small‑scale heating experiments where space is limited and precise control is essential. Its adhesive backing allows quick attachment to metal, glass, or plastic surfaces, making it suitable for DIY temperature‑controlled devices, sample warming, and low‑profile heating solutions.

FAQ

Can the heater be used without a thermistor?

The heater itself does not regulate temperature; it must be paired with a thermistor or temperature controller to maintain a set point.

Is the adhesive reusable?

The adhesive is designed for a permanent bond on clean, flat surfaces. For removal, gently heat the area and peel slowly; reuse is not recommended.

What safety precautions are needed?

Ensure the voltage matches the 5 V rating, avoid covering the heating area with non‑heat‑conductive objects, and use a proper controller to prevent overheating.

Can the heater be stacked for higher power?

Stacking is not advised as it can cause uneven heating and exceed the designed power rating.

What is the expected lifespan?

Under normal operating conditions and proper temperature control, the heater typically lasts for several thousand heating cycles.
