AI Thread Summary
A heating element measuring 5 cm x 5 cm is needed to heat a chip within the temperature range of 293 to 373 Kelvin. Peltier devices are suggested, requiring a heatsink for effective cooling on one side while heating the other. Small crystal ovens are also mentioned as potential off-the-shelf solutions for maintaining temperature. High wattage resistors can be used, with resistance calculations necessary based on the voltage. Clarification on the specific chip to be heated is requested, as typically, temperature reduction is a priority in electronics.

Hi

I need a heating element, 5 cm x 5 cm, to heat up a chip.

Temperature range 293 - 373 Kelvin

Anyone know what to go for?

Maybe Peltier devices.

You would have to mount it on a heatsink for the cold side and then the other side would get hot.
They get too hot to touch in a few seconds and the higher powered ones might get to 100 deg C.
 
You can buy small crystal ovens - for maintaining crystals at a desired temperature. They may be adjustable, too. Off the shelf would be handy!
 
I have observed that reversing the polarity of any IC circuit gets it too much hot. You might use any cheap/faulty IC circuit with the metallic plate of requiered dimension attached like heat sink.

You can also use high wattage resistors. Resistence needs to be calculated for the given voltage.

Could you tell, what particular chip you want to heat. In electronics we usually need to reduce the temperature.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
