Rod & tube MCH heaters
Cylindrical co-fired elements that concentrate heat at the tip or along a defined length — replacing wire-wound cartridges where oxidation, size or response time is the constraint.
Heat where the tip is
The printed circuit can be graded along the length so the highest power density sits at the working end. That shortens warm-up in soldering tools and lets sensor heaters reach light-off temperature without heating the whole housing.
- Ø3–20 mm, length up to 90 mm
- Solid rod or hollow tube for fluid / probe pass-through
- Graded or localised heating zone
- Nickel leads, brazed electrodes, optional threaded or flanged base
Where they go
Soldering irons and stations, automotive oxygen sensors, gas ignition, cartridge heaters, inline liquid and gas preheating, and small laboratory instruments.
- Fast tip recovery under repeated thermal load
- No exposed resistance wire to oxidise or sag
- Electrically isolated outer surface
- Stable resistance over high cycle counts

Questions buyers ask
Yes — we adjust the printed circuit density along the rod. Tell us the active length and the temperature profile you need.
Standard geometries 20–30 days; custom circuits or terminations usually 35–50 days including sampling.
