Ceramic Insulators

Ceramic insulators are used when electrical insulation is necessary in high heat applications. This makes them useful for supporting electric heating elements in ovens, heaters and furnaces. Ceramics hold their shape and size under pressure. This is important in switching applications where the ceramic is used to open and close electrical contacts in a thermostat or pressure switch. Ceramic parts are very abrasion resistant and offer long life in applications where other materials would wear out quickly.
