## Overview

The MCH Metal Ceramic Heater is a high-performance resistive heater designed for scientific research, featuring rapid heating capabilities, excellent thermal efficiency, and a compact size. With a maximum temperature of up to 800°C and a stable resistance of 1.5 Ω, this heater is perfect for lab environments where precision and reliability are paramount.

## Description

The MCH (metal ceramics heater) heating element is made by the following process. First, painting the high melting point metal (tungsten or molybdenum manganese) paste on to the Al2O3 casting briquette in coordinate to the circuit design, then another layer of sintering additives. After that, repeating the process to build multiple layers. Then, they are sintered together under 1600 °C hydrogen gas environment. Finally, nickel leads are brazed at 800 °C onto the metal end and put on with Teflon sleeve, which make it a MCH heating element. It is a new type of high efficient heating elements, which can save more than 20%-30% power effect compare to PTC ceramic heaters. Our alumina ceramic heaters have many excellent features that do not exist in the sheath heaters: 1. High power density, excellent thermal efficiency 2. Rapid heating, non-hotspot temperature distribution 3. High temperature, small size, light weight 4. Excellent insulation (the leakage current is <0.5 mA under voltage 4500V/1S testing with no breakdown) 5. High reliability, stable resistance, no electric noise 6. Good chemical resistance 7. full compliance with EU RoHS (no lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PCBS, and other harmful substances) 8. No charge on surface and safe to touch. The MCH is widely used in all kinds of applications nowadays, such as: intelligent bidet seat, electric water heater, medical machine, dryer, electric heating splint, electric iron, vacuum flask, electric cooker, electric bonder, capper, UTR cylinder condensation-proofer, IR physiotherapy equipment, intravenous injection heating, quick food heating, mini thermostatic bath for special crystal parts, automatic exhaust oxidation sensors, industrial equipment heater, and small heating appliance, etc. Meanwhile, it is also perfect for scientific research in lab environment due to its small size, high power density, high temperature and excellent insulation.

Review: They perform as you would expect a heater to perform - These are very nice ceramic heaters. I have not fully tested them yet, but I have had them up to 600C in air. They have a rapid response, depending on how much current you provide. They will function under DC and AC voltages. If you use AC voltage, you should have a variac connected and start with a low voltage. My 1.5 ohm unit measured to be 1.9 ohms. With Vac set at 30Vac, I measured peak current at 9.7Amps, running through an SSR rated at 25A. This is with a temp setting at 200C in air laying on a heat sink with 3 other ceramic heaters (not powered) laying on top. Do make sure that it is thermally loaded or ramp it up slowly; otherwise the thermal gradients will shatter it (known from experience by going to 600C in air....and it is ceramic).
Review: Better info should have been provided - The specs are not sufficient. There is not any information as to what input voltage this can handle. As it had only 1.6ohm resistance after connecting it to 110V via an SSR it burned. Better info should have been provided.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the input power? What is the volts, amps and wattage?**
A: The version I purchased is a 1.5Ω resistor.  I am running it a 12.5V and around 7A.  It gets hot FAST!  Meets all my expectations.  I am using it as an electronics warmer for a 85C test, and it takes about 3 minutes from ambient to 85C.
