A kapton heater uses very thin polyimide film around an etched metal foil circuit. The goal is a setup that is easy to build and control. The aim is steady heat without making the assembly harder to build. The heater can be made in many small custom shapes. Selection starts with the part, not with a catalog number. Lead strain relief is
