Pictured is a flexible Polyimide (Kapton®) heater. Capable of reaching temperatures up to 500⁰F this heater incorporates a thermistor (temperature sensor), a non-heated flex tail providing an electrical signal through the zero-insertion force (ZIF) connector on the termination end. 


Pictured is a flexible Silicone heater. Capable of reaching temperatures up to 400⁰F this heater is formed to a specific shape to nest between battery packs.


Pictured is an etched circuit on Polyimide (Kapton®)  with gold plating over non-heated sensor traces and flex tail. 


Pictured are various types of temperature sensors including thermocouples, RTDs and thermistors housed in ring and screw terminals, Kapton®, metal probe housing along with other options available.
