12V 50W PTC Heater Plate Thermostat
The 12V 50W PTC Heater Plate Thermostat is a ceramic-based self-regulating heater that automatically maintains a consistent temperature without external sensors or controllers. Built with PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor technology, the heater’s resistance increases as temperature rises, limiting current flow and ensuring a stable, safe, and efficient heating process.
This module is commonly used in egg incubators, car defoggers, small space heaters, 3D printers, and dehumidifiers. The PTC material prevents overheating and eliminates the need for complex thermostats or safety relays. With its compact design and easy installation, it’s perfect for DIY heating projects and industrial applications alike.
Its aluminum shell ensures even heat distribution, while the pre-wired leads simplify connection to any 12V DC power source. Reliable, maintenance-free, and energy-efficient — this heater plate is a perfect fit for continuous and controlled heating tasks.
