Flexible Heater for Space image

Overview

The flexible heating element consists of an etched foil resistive element laminated between two insulation layers.


Advanced Zoppas technology allows us to provide sophisticated double-sided heaters and also heating elements with a very high ohmic density. According to ESA specifications, heater resistive elements and terminal leads connections can be coated either with Polymer/FEP or Film/Acrylic Adhesive.
