All-Polyimide (AP) Thermofoil Heaters

AP heaters are a high performance alternative to Minco’s standard polyimide heaters, allowing higher temperatures and watt densities. Minco’s unique ability to manufacture these heaters has prompted success in many high-temperature applications worldwide. AP heaters must be factory mounted or clamped to heat sinks, and are only available as custom designs.
