Abstract
An electrically heated aerosol-generating system for receiving an aerosol-forming substrate includes a heating element including a first electrically conductive element electrically insulated from a second electrically conductive element by an electrically insulating portion. The first and second elements are elongate and are electrically connected to each other by an electrically resistive portion. At least one electrically conductive element and the electrically resistive portion are arranged such that they are at least partially in contact with the aerosol-forming substrate.
Claims12
A heating element for heating an aerosol-forming substrate in an electrically heated aerosol-generating system, the heating element comprising:
- an insulating portion;
- a conductive portion;
- and
- an electrically resistive portion configured to be positioned to be inserted into a central portion of the aerosol-forming substrate of the electrically heated aerosol-generating system, the electrically resistive portion including at least a first part extending in a direction transverse to a longitudinal direction of the insulating portion, the electrically resistive portion contacting the conductive portion.
