A flexible electric heating pad made from stainless steel fibre fabric. Apply 5–12V DC and it warms up — temperature varies with voltage. Lightweight and flexible enough to wrap around objects or integrate into wearable projects.

Essentially a large flexible resistor, it can be driven with PWM via a power N-channel MOSFET for fine temperature control.

Key Features

  • Flexible Fabric – Stainless steel fibre construction bends and wraps easily
  • Variable Temperature – Output temperature depends on applied voltage (5–12V)
  • Lightweight – Minimal weight for wearable and portable applications
  • PWM Compatible – Use with a MOSFET for precise temperature control

Specifications

  • Dimensions – ~14 × 5 cm
  • Operating Voltage – 5–12V DC
  • Material – Stainless steel fibre heating fabric

Ideal For

  • Wearable heating pads and heated clothing
  • Weather balloon and high-altitude electronics warming
  • DIY bio and thermal cycling experiments
  • Keeping components warm in cold environments
Warning: This pad can reach high temperatures at higher voltages. Monitor temperature and avoid contact with heat-sensitive materials. Use appropriate current limiting and temperature control.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

PWM
Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
