Abstract
A fluid permeable healer assembly for aerosol-generating systems comprises a substrate (1) comprising an opening (100) through the substrate, an electrically conductive substantially flat filament arrangement (2) arranged over the opening, and clamping means (3) mechanically fixing the filament arrangement to the substrate. The clamping means are electrically conductive and serve as electrical contacts for providing a heating current through the filament arrangement. The invention also relates to a method for assembling a fluid permeable heater.
Claims17
A fluid permeable heater assembly for aerosol-generating systems, the fluid permeable heater assembly comprising:
- a substrate comprising an opening through the substrate,
- an electrically conductive substantially flat filament arrangement arranged over the opening, and mechanical fixation elements mechanically fixing the filament arrangement to the substrate, wherein the filament arrangement includes a first portion and second portions forming an integrated filament, wherein the first portion is provided between the second portions,
- wherein the filament arrangement comprises a plurality of filaments forming a mesh, and wherein the second portions comprise a mesh having a mesh density higher than a mesh density of the first portion.
