RS PRO Silicone Heater Mat, 1.665 kW, 500 x 500mm, 240 V ac

Foam insulated heater mats are thin and lightweight and have a low thermal mass, hence their rapid heat up characteristics and fast response to temperature control. The mats wide operating temperature range, flexibility and superb electrical properties give them a distinct advantage over other forms of heating.
The high performance foam insulation delivers an increase in efficiency and performance. Reducing the thermal losses of the element in turn reduces heat up times and allows operating temperatures to be more easily maintained.
The addition of the Thermocouple component allows universal controller compatibility and when combined with the insulating foam layer ensures accurate and efficient heating performance.

• Designed for use in areas where standard heating methods are difficult to apply
• Backing adhesive from Nitto, no loss in performance
• Flexible silicone with etched foil heating elements
• Vulcanised layer of closed cell thermally insulating foam of 8 mm thickness
• PTFE braided thermocouple type J incorporated offering universal controllability
• Operating temperature +180°C (intermittent maximum due to adhesive) 150°C continuous use

This silicone heater mat from the RS PRO range provides quick, precise and even temperatures for a wide range of surface heating applications.

Flexible and lightweight, silicone heater mats are great for hard-to-reach areas and small gaps underneath equipment. This particular mat is comprised of etched foil elements that heat up rapidly and accurately, enclosed in a thin sheath of silicone for even heat distribution.

The silicone mat has a lower thermal mass than most other conductors, so it's very responsive to temperature control. It can be connected to heat control devices like thermocouples and light switches and used for a variety of temperature regulation purposes.

These silicone heater mats are self-adhesive, so you can install them without any equipment or tape. With a wide heating range, this mat is suitable for anti-condensation heating, GRP pipe repairs and satellite dish snow melting.

• Thin and lightweight rectangular shape
• Flexible silicone with etched foil heating elements
• 200 x 400 mm
• Power rating of 533 W
• Peak temperature of +180°C
• Supply voltage of 240 V ac
• Best used with temperature sensing and control elements
