An image of the cuttng edge of the heat element
・To adapt the heat element material which is
strength to the voltage.
・To adapt the conductive layer material
which is strength to the corrosion.
・Higher sealing performance on the coating.
The reliability has been improved by
adapting above three technologies.
Higher sealing performance on the
2types of the protective coats
Heat element material which is
strength to the voltage
Conductive layer material
which is strength to the corrolsion
The high reliability is guaranteed by the 2 types of anti-corrosion protective coats.
