Tempco HDC09890 Swaged Cartridge Heater 500 W 240 V 10 in
Delivers 500 W at 240 V in a 10 in 321 stainless sheath with 34 W/sq in density and ±.002 in tolerance
- 500 W output delivers high heat for industrial processes
- 34 W/sq in density enables rapid thermal transfer
- 321 stainless steel sheath resists corrosion at 1,400 °F
- ±0.002 in diameter tolerance ensures precise fit in bores
- 12 in braided leads simplify wiring in tight spaces
Swaged Cartridge Heater 500 W 240 V
The Tempco HDC09890 is a 10 in swaged cartridge heater rated at 500 W and 240 V. It suits industrial heating tasks that require a 1/2 in diameter sheath made from 321 stainless steel with a +/- 0.002 in tolerance. A 12 in braided lead is included for wiring connections.
Sustained load at 34 W/sq in and 1 400 Degrees F
At 34 W/sq in the heater delivers steady thermal output up to its maximum temperature capability of 1 400 Degrees F. The swaged construction and 321 stainless steel sheath maintain consistent heat transfer during continuous operation without the hot spots that appear in lower-density designs.
Straightforward mounting with braided lead
The precise +/- 0.002 in sheath diameter allows a close fit in reamed holes, and the 12 in braided lead simplifies termination in conduit or terminal boxes. Installers must verify that the 240 V supply matches the heater rating and that the mounting bore respects the tight tolerance to avoid premature sheath failure.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 34 W/sq in cartridge heater generate when running continuously?
The 500 W heater delivers 34 W per square inch across its 10 in sheath, reaching up to 1,400 °F max temperature in continuous operation.
What voltage supply and lead preparation are required to install this 240 V heater?
It needs a 240 V circuit and comes with 12 in braided leads ready for termination; no connector is included.
Will the 1/2 in diameter with ±0.002 in tolerance fit my existing 321 stainless steel bore?
Yes, the precision-ground 1/2 in sheath held to ±0.002 in matches standard reamed bores for 321 stainless tooling.
