Heraeus Introduces Revolutionary New Product: PTC4900 Series Self-Regulating Heater Inks – The Ultimate Customizable Solution for Your PTC Heater Needs

Heraeus Electronics introduces a breakthrough in heater technology, the PTC4900 series self-regulating heater inks. These customizable PTC (Positive Thermal Coefficient) inks offer increased performance, extended operating temperatures, and unmatched customization options. Designed for precise temperature control, it is suitable for a variety of applications including EV battery heaters, ADAS heaters, flooring heaters and cabin comfort heaters.

Historically, PTC inks have been limited in range, temperature support and customization capabilities. Heraeus Electronics has changed the game with his PTC4900 series, customizable paste products targeting heater operating temperatures from 50°C to 90°C. Products for temperatures above 100°C are currently under development. This breakthrough technology provides customized resistance to meet precise temperature control requirements without changing the heater design.

“PTC4900 series self-conditioning heater inks are a revolutionary new solution that expands the reach and applications of the flexible and rigid PTC heater market,” said Mark Challingsworth, Head of Thick Film Business Line, Heraeus Electronics. “We are dedicated to providing our customers with the best materials for their heater designs and this new series exemplifies our commitment to innovation and customer-focused solutions.”

One of the key advantages of the PTC4900 series is the improved PTC performance and extended operating temperature compared to competitors’ products. While other products offer a narrow temperature range with a single material, Heraeus Electronics’ solution enables precise heating with self-tuning properties, increasing product safety.

The launch of Heraeus Electronics’ drop-in solution expands the range of applications in the flexible and rigid PTC heater market. By eliminating the need for time-consuming adjustments and enabling wider process windows, Heraeus Electronics enables customers to accelerate development schedules, reduce time to market and achieve higher production yields.

Customers can also benefit from a blendable system of resistors, simplifying circuit design and streamlining manufacturing processes. “Our customizable resistors make the heaters easier to manufacture and repeatable, avoiding lot-to-lot variations,” said Dean Busby, his manager, Global Product, Thick Film Division, Heraeus Electronics. “This saves our customers development time, increases production yields, and speeds time to market.”

Heraeus Electronics has a longstanding reputation for reliable product quality, technical service and hands-on support. Our experts work directly with customers to find the best solution for their specific needs, ensuring maximum performance and customer satisfaction.
