Formula for Determination of Watt Density
Watts/sq.in. =
Total unit wattage
C (heated length) x 3
Optional Terminations
Type SSA: Parallel at one end. Heated length ("C") is 3/4" longer.

Type SO: One each end. Heated length ("C") is
1" shorter

Type SF1: Flexible high temperature insulated leads. Specify
length. Opposite end of unit may
be standard closure with mounting hole or any of the optional closures. (Blunt end, XS54,
shown)
Suitable for use to 480V. Lead end may be sealed for moisture resistance.

Optional End Closures
XS-54: Blunt end. Welded each end with no mounting holes. May be used with
Type OF, SSA, or SO terminals. Heated length ("C") is 3" longer.

XS-83: Short crimp. At each end with no mounting holes. May be used
with
Type OF, SSA, or SO terminals. Heated length ("C") is 1" longer.

XS-84: Secondary insulating bushings. Required when units are connected in
series
on voltages above 300V. Sheath must be isolated. Requires enlarged (1/2"
x 3/4")
mounting hole each end. May be used with Type OF, SSA, or SO terminals.

Tolerances
Width: 1.500, ±.010
Length: Up to 24", ±1/16"
24" and over, ±1/8"
Thickness: .375, ±.005
Wattage tolerances are held to +5%, -10% at rated voltage.
Voltage
Standard voltages are either 120V or 240V. Other voltages are available.
How To Order
After determining the wattage required and the line voltage available,
determine
the physical space available for heaters and the number of heaters required.
Review Stock List for In-Stock items.
Specify: catalog number, wattage, voltage, termination, and special
features if required.
