Traditionally, PTC inks have been limited in their scope, temperature offerings and customization capabilities. The new range of customizable pastes target heater operating temperatures between 50°-90°C, with products targeting temperatures above 100°C currently in development. This technology provides tailored resistances to meet precise temperature control requirements without the need to change heater designs.
“PTC4900 Series Self-Regulating Heater Inks are a disruptive new solution that expands the range and applications of the flexible and rigid PTC heater market,” said Mark Challingsworth, Head of Business Line – Thick Film at Heraeus Electronics. “We are dedicated to providing our customers with the best materials for their heater designs, and this new series exemplifies our commitment to innovation and customer-centric solutions.”
By eliminating the need for time-consuming adjustments and allowing for wider process windows, Heraeus Electronics empowers its customers to accelerate development timelines, reduce time to market, and achieve improved yield in production.
Customers also will benefit from the blendable system of resistors, simplifying circuit design and streamlining the production process. “Our customizable resistances allow for easier heater production and repeatability, avoiding lot-to-lot variations,” said Dean Buzby, Global Product Manager – Thick Film at Heraeus Electronics. “This saves our customers development time, improves yield in production and shortens time to market.”
