Product Name
Leister 103.607 - HEATING ELEMENT TYPE 33H, 120V/435W HOT JET S
Brief Description
This is a genuine Leister replacement heating element, Type 33H, with specifications of 120V and 435W, specifically designed for the Leister HOT JET S hot air welding tool. It is a crucial component that generates the hot air required for various applications such as plastic welding, shrinking, drying, and activating adhesives.
Popular Applications & Uses
- Plastic welding, including detail areas and coving corners- Shrinking heat-shrink sleeves, films, tapes, and molded parts- Vehicle fairing repairs- Welding thermoplastic materials such as boards, tubes, profiles, lining membranes, coated materials, films, foams, tiles, and sheets- Activating and dissolving solvent-free and fusion adhesives- Drying water-damp surfaces- Soldering and de-soldering of SMD thru-hole components- In-situ repairs to roof single-ply membranes- Bending pipes- Removing or drying paint
Industries that Commonly Use It
- Automotive Service/Repair- Construction/Building Services (especially roofing and flooring)- Distributers & Resellers- Electrical Services or Products- Fabrication (specifically plastic fabrication)- Flooring Installer or Manufacturer- General Manufacturing- Industrial Supply- LED/Electronics- Packaging Services or Contractor- Plastic Fabrication- Prosumer- PVC Trimboard- Sign & Display- Tarp, Fabric, Awning Manufacturing- Thermoforming- Transportation/Specialty Vehicle
Special and Unique Features
- Genuine Leister replacement part, ensuring compatibility and performance with the HOT JET S tool- Designed for the Leister HOT JET S, known for its portability, light weight (580g or 1.3 lbs with cord), and ergonomic handle, enabling fatigue-free work- Facilitates precise welding in confined spaces or with heat-sensitive materials due to the HOT JET S's independent temperature and airflow control- High-temperature resistant materials for durability and long service life (for heating elements in general)- Ensures even heat dissipation and high thermal stability (for heating elements in general)
Key Properties
- Voltage: 120V- Power: 435W- Type: 33H- Heating element diameter: 16.8 mm- Essential component for hot air generation in the Leister HOT JET S- Operates in extreme conditions, reaching high temperatures (up to 600°C for the tool)
Surface Compatibility
The heating element itself does not directly contact surfaces, but the hot air it generates is compatible with a wide range of materials processed by the Leister HOT JET S tool:- Thermoplastic materials (e.g., PVC, TPO, EPDM)- Single-ply flexible plastics- Modified bitumen- Heat-shrink materials (sleeves, films, tapes)- Solvent-free and fusion adhesives- Various coated materials, films, foams, tiles, and sheets- Paint (for removal or drying)- Water-damp surfaces (for drying)
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other genuine Leister heating elements for different Leister hot air tools (e.g., Triac ST, AT, S, Diode S, Hemtek ST, UNIROOF, Labor S, Uniplan, Welding Pen, Variant, Electron) are available as replacement parts for their respective tools.- Third-party compatible ceramic heating elements are available as substitutes for Leister heating elements, often replacing specific part numbers like 103.604 (a similar Leister element). These are designed to offer cost-effective alternatives while maintaining high-temperature resistance and thermal stability.
Comparison Note
This Leister 103.607 heating element is specifically engineered for the Leister HOT JET S, ensuring optimal performance and fit for that particular hot air tool. While other Leister heating elements exist for different models (e.g., Triac ST/AT, Triac S), they are not interchangeable with the HOT JET S element due to variations in voltage, wattage, and physical dimensions. When considering substitutes, it's crucial to ensure compatibility with the HOT JET S tool to maintain its precise temperature and airflow control and overall operational integrity.
