What we can
actually build

Ranges we hold in production every week, not best-case lab figures. Anything outside this envelope is a conversation, not a no — send the drawing and we will tell you honestly what is possible.

Selection

Why engineers
switch to MCH

A heating element is a thermal interface decision, not a commodity part. Here is what changes when the resistor is buried inside the ceramic instead of attached to it.

Product range

Three families,
one process

One HTCC platform, three geometries. Every series is tunable in voltage, resistance, outline, terminations and assembly — the number is a starting point, not a catalogue limit.

SeriesFormElement / descriptionKey dimensions & ratings
Six things you can change

A standard chip off the shelf, or the same platform rebuilt to your drawing — the six variables below are what we re-tool.

Outline
Cut or moulded to your drawing, holes and pads included.
Resistance & power
Circuit geometry set from thermal simulation, matched to your supply.
Sensing
NTC or thermocouple integrated in the same co-fired body.
Lead wire
Material, length and temperature grade chosen for your routing.
Connector
Terminated to the plug your assembly already uses.
Encapsulation
Open element, sealed body or full housing with thermostat and fuse.

Every series is built to a customer specification. If your part does not match any of these three series, that is the normal case — send the drawing.

Applications

Where they
can go

Eight industries, one co-fired alumina platform. The same element that heats a nebuliser also sits inside an analytical instrument, a 3D-printer hot end or a smart toilet — what changes is the outline, the resistance and the terminations.Customer references are available under NDA.

Medical devices

Nebulisers, incubators and diagnostic modules — sealed elements with no exposed conductor.

A1

Analytical instruments

Precision micro-heating parts for laboratory analysers and detection instruments.

A2

Laboratory equipment

Small constant-temperature fixtures and local heating units inside test set-ups.

A3

Semiconductor

Compact constant-temperature modules and process-assist heaters for wafer tools.

A4

3D printing

Hot ends and heated chambers — fast ramp, compact footprint, isolated surface.

A5

Smart home

Smart toilets, thermostatic fixtures and concealed heating units.

A6

Kitchen appliances

Coffee machines, dishwashers and water heaters — water–electric isolation.

A7

Beauty & personal care

Straighteners, curling irons and beauty devices — thin plate, even face temperature.

A8

Also built for heat-not-burn devices, oxygen sensors and soldering tools. If your product is not listed, the answer is usually still yes — send the drawing.

Factory & quality

From green tape
to tested part.

Screen printing, lamination, co-firing at ~1,650 °C, electrode plating, assembly and end-of-line testing are done in-house — which is why a circuit change does not wait on an outside supplier.

On-site or remote factory audits, process questions and document requests are welcome. They are part of qualifying a supplier properly.

Inside the factory
  • +Screen printing — tungsten / Mo-Mn paste on 96% alumina green tape
  • +Lamination — hot-pressed into a monolithic green body
  • +Co-firing — ~1,650 °C in reducing atmosphere
  • +Plating & brazing — nickel metallisation, pull-tested leads
  • +End-of-line — 4,500 V / 1 s, insulation, power, dry-burn ageing, thermal shock

Before you write

Questions buyers
ask first

MOQ, tooling, lead time, documentation. Answered up front so your first email can be about the part, not about us.

Still unsure?

Send a rough size, a voltage and a target temperature. A rough sketch description is enough for a first engineering reply — we will help define the rest.

Talk to an engineer

Samples start from 10 pcs. For mass production the typical MOQ is 1,000 pcs per specification, and we are flexible for new projects and pilot runs.

Yes. Shape, dimensions, voltage from 3.7 V to 220 V, resistance from 0.3 Ω to 1,500 Ω, power, lead wires, terminals, thermostats and housings are all customizable. Tooling is a screen and a fixture set, not an expensive mould.

Custom circuit design, tooling and pilot lots are supported, alongside standard parts. Send your requirement for an engineering review.

We are an HTCC factory. Circuit printing, lamination, co-firing, plating, assembly and end-of-line testing are done in-house. On-site and remote factory audits are welcome.

Lead-free elements compliant with RoHS and REACH, CE-marked modules, produced under an ISO 9001 certified quality management system. Certificates are available on request.

T/T 30% deposit with order, 70% balance cleared before dispatch; L/C at sight for volume orders. We do not ship on open account: on T/T orders the goods and documents stay with us until the balance has cleared, and on L/C orders payment is secured by the bank against documents. We work on Incoterms® 2020. Air and express shipments are quoted FCA / CIP / DAP; sea freight FOB / CIF. The final term is set per order — by destination, volume and your nominated forwarder. Third-party testing can be arranged on request.
