Satellite All-Polyimide Thermofoil™ Heaters: HAP6746

Space Flight Thermofoil™ Heaters

Minco has been manufacturing high-reliability Space Flight Qualified heaters for more than 40 years. Our Catalog Space Flight products are similar to our high-temperature polyimide HAP series, with the additional benefit of being constructed from entirely low-outgassing materials, incorporating pressure sensitive mounting adhesive (PSA), and fabricated in-compliance with NASA GSFC S-311-P-841.

Product materials and product design in agreement with NASA GSCF S-311-P-841 (General Specification for Thermofoil Heater, All-Polyimide, Space Applications). NOTE: Catalog products do not include full Table I or Table II inspection, qualification or datasheets - contact Minco if you require additional qualification and screening.

• Thin, lightweight heaters allow you to apply heat where it's needed ultimately reducing overall operating costs
• Etched-foil heating technology provides efficient thermal cycling of samples for increased throughput
• Low mass construction and factory lamination saves space and reduces cycle time
• Low-Outgassing Acrylic pressure sensitive mounting adhesive (PSA)
• Suitable for vacuum environments (NASA-RP-1061)
• Resistant to most chemicals: acids and solvents
• Highest radiation resistance of all flexible heating product offerings.
