Abstract
A silicone band heater assembly includes a silicone heater cable, lead wires, and a zip tie connection. The heater cable consists of a resistance heater wire that is optionally surrounded by a fiberglass braid, which in turn is encased in a silicone insulator. Each end of the heater cable includes an overmolded zip tie segment, which includes the splice connection between the lead wire and resistance wire, and the ability to link the ends of the heater cable assembly together when being clamped to a desired structure.
