Allen Bradley N16 Overload Relay Heater Element Pack of 6

Description

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley N16 overload relay heater element is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratory environments. Manufactured by the trusted Allen Bradley brand, each element measures a compact 1 x 2 x 2 inches and weighs only 1.6 ounces, allowing for easy integration into a wide range of heating mantles and related equipment. The element’s robust construction utilizes high‑grade resistance wire and a ceramic core that delivers uniform heat distribution while resisting corrosion and thermal fatigue over prolonged use.

Designed specifically for the N16 series of overload relays, this heater element provides precise temperature regulation essential for sensitive chemical reactions, sample preparation, and analytical testing. The element’s rapid heat‑up time and stable output reduce energy waste and improve overall workflow efficiency. Compatibility with standard laboratory heating mantles ensures that users can replace or upgrade existing components without extensive re‑engineering, making it a cost‑effective solution for both new installations and retrofits.

Each package contains six individually wrapped heater elements, offering a convenient bulk solution for laboratories, research institutions, and small‑scale production facilities. The pack‑of‑six format not only simplifies inventory management but also provides a significant price advantage compared to purchasing single units. All items are shipped with clear labeling and protective packaging to safeguard the elements during transit, ensuring they arrive in pristine condition ready for immediate deployment.

Usage

These heater elements excel in laboratory heating mantles used for processes such as solvent evaporation, reflux, and sample digestion. Their compact footprint allows them to fit into tight spaces, while the low weight minimizes the load on support structures. Researchers handling temperature‑sensitive compounds benefit from the element’s rapid response and consistent heat output, which helps maintain reaction fidelity and reduce variability across experiments.

Beyond traditional lab settings, the N16 overload relay heater element is suitable for pilot‑scale production lines, quality‑control stations, and industrial scientific applications where precise thermal control is paramount. The element’s durability under continuous operation makes it ideal for long‑duration runs, such as in thermal stability testing or batch processing of materials that require sustained heating. Its universal design also supports integration with custom‑built heating assemblies, providing flexibility for engineers designing specialized equipment.

FAQ

What temperature range can the N16 heater element operate within?

The element is rated for continuous operation up to 250 °C (482 °F), making it suitable for most laboratory heating applications. For specific processes requiring higher temperatures, users should verify compatibility with their control system and ensure proper ventilation.

Can the heater element be used with other brands of overload relays?

While the element is optimized for Allen Bradley N16 overload relays, it can be compatible with other relays that share the same electrical specifications and mounting dimensions. However, using it with non‑Allen Bradley relays may affect performance, and users should consult the relay manufacturer’s guidelines before installation.

How do I replace a faulty heater element in an existing heating mantle?

To replace a faulty element, first disconnect power and allow the mantle to cool completely. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old element, disconnect any wiring according to the schematic, and install the new element using the same mounting hardware. Re‑connect the wiring, secure the element, and perform a functional test to confirm proper operation.

Is there a recommended maintenance schedule for these heater elements?

Regular visual inspections are advised to check for signs of wear, corrosion, or discoloration. Cleaning the element with a soft, dry cloth can remove dust and debris that may affect heat transfer. For high‑usage environments, a quarterly performance check using a calibrated temperature probe helps ensure the element continues to meet required specifications.

What warranty coverage does Allen Bradley provide for the N16 heater element?

Allen Bradley offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects and material failures under normal operating conditions. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or external factors such as electrical surges. Customers can contact the support team to initiate a warranty claim and receive a replacement or repair as appropriate.
