PTC Heating Element - 5V 40°C
The PTC Heating Element – 5V 40°C is a compact, thermostatic ceramic heater designed for stable, constant temperature heating without the need for external temperature sensors or controllers. Powered by AC or DC voltage, this element automatically regulates its temperature, making it highly reliable and efficient for long-term, unattended heating applications.
