Heater
Controlled resistive heating of a cryostat stage for thermal management and calibration.
What it does
Resistive heater element for controlled temperature increase of a stage. Used during thermal cycling, cooldown management, or active temperature regulation. Powered via DC wiring. Important for faster experimental turnaround and thermometry calibration.
Where it goes
- Allowed stages
- 50K, 4K, Still, CP, MXC, 1K
- Preferred stages
- 4K
- Typical line types
- dc
- Heat dissipation must be budgeted carefully, especially at MXC.
Typical specifications
| Resistance | 25 – 500 Ω |
| Package | chip heater on copper mount |
| Max power at MXC | < 0.5 μW |
Ports
- DC+indc
- DC−outdc
