An article teaches you how to choose a heating wire

The vast majority of businesses struggle to provide buyers with a clear understanding of their heated wire products due to the complexity of the product types. Some sellers even find it difficult to explain their own product lines, which makes it inconvenient for them to choose the right model.

When classifying products, sellers typically differentiate them based on material or key functionality. However, buyers do not select products according to the seller's classification logic, but instead use a reverse thinking process based on their own needs. Therefore, it is crucial to bridge the gap between seller and buyer thinking.

Through our efforts at Senphus, we have created a classification chart for metal wire products. This chart meticulously categorizes products by structure and material, while also grouping them by specific industry. This significantly reduces the time required for product selection, allowing both buyers and sellers to focus their attention on their needs.

Please refer to the following table:

NO.	NAME	structure	Schematic	Heating element material	Insulation Materials	Shielding Materials	Ground wire material	Sheath material	Application Areas
1	Uninsulated heating wire	heating element		Optional					all require heating
2	Single insulated heating wire	heating element + single layer insulation material		Optional	Optional				industrial electric blankets, wind turbine blade resin curing, refrigerator defrosting, soil heating, etc.
3	heating wire with insulating sheath	Heating element + insulation material + (PTC) + sheath material		Optional	Optional			Optional	Civilian electric blankets, heated yoga mats, heated mattresses
4	Single conductor heating wire wrapped with ground wire	Insulated heating wire + ground wire + wrapping tape (aluminum foil) + outer sheath		Optional	Optional	Aluminum foil	Tinned copper wire/aluminum wire	Optional	Indoor floor heating
5	double conductor wrapped with ground wire heating wire	insulated heating wire*2 + ground wire + wrapping tape + outer sheath		Optional	Optional	Aluminum foil	Tinned copper wire/aluminum wire	Optional	Indoor floor heating
6	Single conductor braided heating wire	insulated heating wire*1 + alloy wire braiding + outer sheath		Optional	Optional	Tinned copper wire/aluminum-magnesium alloy wire		Optional	Indoor floor heating
7	Double conductor braided heating wire	insulated heating wire*2 + alloy wire braiding + outer sheath		Optional	Optional	Tinned copper wire/aluminum-magnesium alloy wire		Optional	Indoor floor heating/outdoor snow melting/water pipe heating/industrial electric heating
8	Single conductor wire-wound shielded heating wire	insulated heating wire*1 + double insulation + alloy wire winding + outer sheath		Optional	Optional	Tinned copper wire/aluminum-magnesium alloy wire		Optional	Indoor floor heating
9	Double wire shielded heating wire	insulated heating wire*2 + double insulation + alloy wire winding + outer sheath		Optional	Optional	Tinned copper wire/aluminum-magnesium alloy wire		Optional	Indoor floor heating
10	Enameled heating wire	Heating element + insulation layer + center reinforcement wire + sheath		Optional	Optional			Optional	Car seat heating wire, car steering wheel heating wire, heating clothes, heating gloves, heating cushions, indoor home heating products

annotation：

1. Optional heating elements include: Alloy single wire, alloy winding wire, alloy stranded wire, carbon fiber, and composite materials made of carbon fiber and alloy single wire.

2. Carbon fiber has a fundamentally different heating principle compared to metal. Additionally, since carbon fiber does not emit electromagnetic radiation when powered, it is becoming increasingly accepted.

3. Optional insulating materials include: PVC/PE/TPEE/FEP/PFA/PTFE/Nylon/Fiberglass/Silicone rubber, etc.

4. Optional sheath materials include: PVC/LSOH/TPEE/FEP/PFA/Nylon/Fiberglass/Silicone rubber, etc.

5. Specific heating element models are numerous and priced transparently. We won't list them all here, but you can always consult with us.

6. Senphus produces its own heating elements. As the largest manufacturer of alloy wires in China, we can shorten delivery times to just 3 days. Furthermore, our prices are the lowest while ensuring product quality meets technical requirements, ultimately lowering the cost of your heating cable.

7. Enameled wire and ordinary insulated heating wires have significantly different application ranges. Due to its very thin coating, enameled wire cannot withstand high currents or heat. It is typically used in low-voltage DC products.
