Two-Piece Band Construction
Two-piece construction satisfies the need for a heater that can be placed anywhere along the machine barrel and is recommended for larger diameter heaters. The two-piece construction style also provides dual voltage capability as heater halves may be wired together either in series or parallel. Two-piece heaters are rated at full voltage and 1/2 the total wattage for each half.

Two-piece heaters are rated at full voltage and 1/2 the total wattage for each half.
One-Piece Expandable Band Construction
The expandable construction style allows the heater to be opened up and placed anywhere along the machine barrel, as well as minimizes the unheated area as compared to a two-piece heater. With two heater circuits in a common case this heater naturally lends itself to a dual voltage system. Expandable heaters are rated for each circuit at full voltage and one half of the total wattage.

Partial Coverage Band with Built-In Brackets (2 Piece)
Partial coverage band heaters are required when an obstruction on the barrel would interfere with a full coverage band. The preferred method of construction is the 2-piece Band Heater with Built-In Brackets. The heater is bolted down to the cylinder at the ends and the built-in low thermal expansion strap pulls the heater tightly against the cylinder being heated. The standard center of hole to edge of heater dimension is 1/4″.

To simplify installation, Mi-Plus band heaters with terminal boxes can be pre-wired. Type CA – Box only (shown) Type CD – Box with prewired SS wire braid Type CC – Box with prewired SS armor cable Type CE – Box with prewired plain leads Type C: General Purpose Terminal Box, One-Piece Expandable Band Standard Termination Location: opposite the gap; center of width Minimum Inside Diameter: 3″ (76.2 mm) Minimum Width: 2″ (50.8 mm) Maximum Volts/Amps: 480VAC/25A each half Type C: General Purpose Terminal Box, One-Piece Band Standard Termination Location: opposite the gap; center of width Minimum Inside Diameter: 3″ (76.2 mm) Minimum Width: 2″ (50.8 mm) Maximum Volts/Amps: 480VAC/25A Two-Piece Band Construction Two-piece construction satisfies the need for a heater that can be placed anywhere along the machine barrel and is recommended for larger diameter heaters. The two-piece construction style also provides dual voltage capability as heater halves may be wired together either in series or parallel. Two-piece heaters are rated at full voltage and 1/2 the total wattage for each half. Thermocouple Coupling The Thermocouple Coupling facilitates the installation of an external thermocouple with a threaded fitting. The standard location for the coupling is 90° from the gap at the center of the width. Specify without through hole for heater sensing or with through hole for load sensing. Thermocouple Bayonet Adapter A standard Bayonet Adapter facilitates the installation of an external thermocouple with a standard bayonet cap. The standard location for the adapter is 90° from the gap. See Temperature Sensors for a complete selection of thermocouples available from stock. Stock Heavy-Duty Quick Disconnect Plugs and Adapters Heaters with pre-wired plugs allow quick and easy installation of the heater. These plugs can be attached to armor cable or stainless steel wire braid. For other types of plugs, consult Tempco or specify the manufacturer’s part number when ordering. See Accessories for additional Twist-Lock electrical plugs. Partial Coverage Band with Separate Strap (1 Piece) The alternate method of partial coverage construction is the 1-piece Band Heater with a separate 2-piece strap. The 2-piece strap itself is bolted at the padded ends, allowing the heater to float between the pads as illustrated below. When tightening the strap, it will pull the heater against the cylinder being heated. The standard center of hole to edge of heater dimension is 1/4″. Partial Coverage Band with Built-In Brackets (2 Piece) Partial coverage band heaters are required when an obstruction on the barrel would interfere with a full coverage band. The preferred method of construction is the 2-piece Band Heater with Built-In Brackets. The heater is bolted down to the cylinder at the ends and the built-in low thermal expansion strap pulls the heater tightly against the cylinder being heated. The standard center of hole to edge of heater dimension is 1/4″. One-Piece Expandable Band Construction The expandable construction style allows the heater to be opened up and placed anywhere along the machine barrel, as well as minimizes the unheated area as compared to a two-piece heater. With two heater circuits in a common case this heater naturally lends itself to a dual voltage system. Expandable heaters are rated for each circuit at full voltage and one half of the total wattage. One-Piece Band Construction One-piece heaters provide the most heated surface area but can only be used where the entire heater can be slipped over the end of the barrel. One-piece heaters have built-in, full-width clamping bars. Igloo Ceramic Terminal Covers for Screw Terminals Igloo™ ceramic terminal covers consist of two individual ceramic parts. With a tight-fitting cap and a solid base, an Igloo will fully insulate any standard #8 or #10 terminal lug used for electrical wiring hookups. Igloos can be assembled onto any standard Mi-Plus Band with 8-32 or 10-32 screw terminals. Minimum Inside Diameter: 2-1/2″ (63.5 mm) Minimum Width: 2-1/2″ (63.5 mm) Three types of Igloo™ bases are available: Type C6 — Double Port In-Line P/N CER-101-104 Type C7 — Double Port 90° P/N CER-101-106 Type C8 — Single Port P/N CER-101-107 Igloo™ caps are available in the three screw terminal sizes: 10-32 — P/N CER-102-101 10-24 — P/N CER-102-104 8-32 — P/N CER-102-105 When ordering, specify the type of Igloo and the screw terminal size. Igloo Double Port 90° are recommended on expandable heaters with Type T3X Termination. Igloo Double Port In-Line will not fit on expandable heaters with Type T3X termination. Built-In Thermocouple A built-in thermocouple can be factory installed on Mi-Plus band heaters. ANSI type J or K thermocouples are available on Type L1, R,1 R2, W1, W2 and W5 lead wire terminations. Thermocouple junction is located inside the exit termination stamping, providing a relative heater temperature. Thermocouple can be located in various positions on the heater. Consult Tempco with your requirements.
