ABSTRACT:
A plurality of positive-temperature-coefficient (PTC) semiconductors are longitudinally positioned in an elongated, finned, thermally and electrically conductive hollow casing having a socket at each end. A first plug connector of a power source seals one of the sockets and is electrically connected to the lower conducting surface of each PTC semiconductor through an electrically conductive plate electrically insulated from the casing by an electrically insulative plate. A second plug connector of the source electrically seals the other socket and is electrically the connected to the upper conducting surface of each PTC semiconductor through an upper portion of the electrically conductive casing, thereby providing an electric heater with the PTC semiconductors and plates fully clad by the casing for enhanced safety, increased efficiency, and more stable construction. An electrically conductive plate may be inserted between the upper surface of each PTC semiconductor and an electrically insulative plate in the upper portion of the casing for connecting the second pole connector of the power source.
