Square Cartridge Lead Protection

Stainless Steel Braid

Stainless steel braid for square cartridge heater
  • Swaged in stainless steel braid provides excellent abrasion protection while allowing the leads to be bent in a tight radius.
  • Because the braid is swaged in, it is extremely resistant to pulling out of the heater.
