Swaged Leads

Internally connected leads offer maximum flexibility at point of entry to cap, allowing a high degree of flexing as well as the ability to bend the leads sharply adjacent to the cartridge heater.

Crimped Leads

Flexible stranded lead wire is fused to the end of the solid conductor and electrically insulated with 2″ of high temperature sleeving.

Ceramic Beads

Ceramic bead insulation protects the leads from high temperature environments (above 500°F / 260°C). The beads fit over the solid conductors which extend far enough to reach a cooler area where flexible wires can be attached.

Swaged Braid

Stainless steel braid protects leads from abrasion or sharp equipment while allowing flexibility. Available with or without an eyelet.

Swaged Hose

Stainless steel hose protects leads from abrasion on sharp equipment while allowing flexibility.

Swaged Teflon

Internally swaged teflon leads seal and resist moisture and oil. Teflon rated at 480°F. We recommend leaving 1/4" of lead end sticking out of mold.


Right Angle Fiberglass Leads

Right angle leads offer high flexibility and are often used when space limitations are critical.

Right Angle Stainless Steel Braided Leads

Stainless steel braid protects leads from abrasion or sharp equipment while allowing flexibility. Available with or without an eyelet.

Right Angle Stainless Steel Hose

Stainless steel hose protects leads from abrasion on sharp equipment while allowing flexibility.

Copper Elbow

Copper elbow offers right angle exit of leads used when space limitations are not as critical.  Fiberglass, Stainless Steel Braid or Hose Lead options availble.
