Heating elements are used to maintain temperature and reduce humidity in control panels, automation cabinets, ATMs, payment terminals, and other electronic devices. Incandescent bulbs were previously used for this purpose; however, it is clear that this method does not guarantee compliance with the stringent requirements of modern electrical and electronic equipment. Today, almost all manufacturers are switching to PTC heating elements, which not only provide heat but also ensure safety and longevity.

All heating elements are equipped with electronic surface overheating protection, which further ensures safe operation.

Due to the high demands placed on cabinet heaters, Plastim exercised the utmost care in selecting its component suppliers. For example, the supplier of the PTC heaters is the same as Schneider Electric, and the terminal block for the electrical connection of all components is manufactured to order by the Italian company KORNER. The plastic from which this block is made has a very important property: when heated, it not only retains its shape and does not deform, but it also emits no odors and therefore no harmful carcinogenic substances into the atmosphere. We agree that this approach to supplier selection positively distinguishes the high-quality Plastim heaters from their cheap Chinese counterparts.

To ensure automatic temperature control with this heating device, you will need either a simple bimetallic thermostat or a more complex temperature controller.
