A customer realized upon beta testing of their circuit board that the system “froze up” at -20 degress Celsius. The board has beed designed with commercial grade components rated for only 0 degrees C. To switch to industrial or military grade components would push well beyond their budget, and that was only if you could actually source the hard-to-find parts.

A think film heater from Caliente solved the problem. The customer was able to stay with the current design without a costly redesign, doing so with readily available and cost effective components already spec’d in. To further the effectiveness of the heater, a multi-armed design was utilized to heat precisely the chips that required it. Does your board need a boost at low temperatures?
