Stainless steel cartridge heater 10 in long 1/2 in diameter with braided leads

Tempco

Tempco HDC20626 Swaged Cartridge Heater 240V 2000W 10in

SKU CH-ABND-6242Y

A swaged cartridge heater delivering 2,000 W at 240 V with 134 W/sq in density and a 1,400 °F maximum temperature capability

  • 240 V supply matches industrial power systems
  • 2 000 W output delivers high heat in compact form
  • 134 W/sq in density enables fast thermal response
  • 321 stainless sheath resists corrosion up to 1 400 °F
  • ±0.002 in diameter tolerance ensures precise fit

240 V Cartridge Heater for Industrial Use

The Tempco HDC20626 is a swaged cartridge heater built for 240 V power and a 2 000 W output. It suits process-heating applications that require concentrated energy in a compact form. Engineers specify it for plastics machinery, packaging equipment and general thermal systems where reliable heat insertion is critical.

321 Stainless Sheath with Braided Leads

A 321 stainless-steel sheath provides corrosion resistance up to 1 400 Degrees F while the precision diameter tolerance of +/- .002 in ensures consistent fit in reamed holes. The 12 in braided leads withstand flexing and high ambient temperatures, simplifying wiring in tight enclosures and reducing premature lead failure during routine maintenance cycles.

Upgrade from Lower-Watt-Density Units

This heater delivers 134 W per square inch, replacing lower-density cartridges that cannot reach target temperatures in high-mass tools. The jump is justified when cycle times must shrink or when existing heaters fail under sustained loads. It is not suited for low-voltage circuits or applications requiring distributed heat over longer lengths.

Questions about this item

What voltage does the 240V 2000W cartridge heater require, and what watt density does it deliver?

The heater operates at 240 volts and delivers a watt density of 134 watts per square inch, which determines the heat flux the sheath can sustain in practice.

What hole diameter and insertion depth does the 1/2 in diameter 10 in long heater need?

It requires a precision bore of 1/2 inch diameter with a tolerance of +/- 0.002 inch and a straight insertion depth of 10 inches for proper fit and heat transfer.

How are the 12 in braided leads connected, and what installation step is often missed?

The 12 inch braided leads are swaged into the heater body; the step often missed is verifying the lead insulation rating matches the 1400 degree F maximum sheath temperature before final wiring.
