Ushio QIH144-1600/S

is a 1600 W, 144 V quartz infrared heater lamp designed for fast, controlled radiant heating in compatible equipment. Its clear quartz construction provides concentrated infrared output across a 150 mm (5.91 in.) lighted length. The lamp features insulated lead wires with ring tongue terminals and a 3,000-hour average rated life. This model is sold in cases of 20 lamps.

Applications

Blow Molding

Provides rapid radiant heating for compatible plastic blow-molding equipment where controlled preheating and efficient thermal processing are required.

Paint and Ink Drying

Supports fast, controlled drying of paints, inks, coatings, and related materials in compatible production equipment.

Semiconductor Processing

Provides localized infrared heating for compatible semiconductor equipment requiring rapid response and controlled thermal processing.

Scientific and Medical Equipment

Provides controlled radiant heat for compatible laboratory, scientific, medical, and warming equipment requiring reliable infrared output.

Features

• Fast-response infrared output supports rapid heating and process adjustment
• Direct radiant heating concentrates energy on the target without relying primarily on heated air
• Non-contact heating supports controlled processing without physical contact with the workpiece
• Linear lamp design distributes radiant energy across a defined heating area
• Clear quartz construction supports efficient transmission of infrared radiation
• Insulated lead wires with ring tongue terminals support secure electrical connection in compatible equipment

Specifications

FAQs

How does quartz infrared heating differ from convection heating?

Quartz infrared heating transfers radiant energy directly toward the target rather than relying primarily on heated air, allowing faster response and more localized heating than many convection-based methods.

Can a physically similar infrared lamp be used as a replacement?

Not necessarily. Replacement lamps should match the required voltage, wattage, dimensions, quartz type, lead and terminal configuration, burning position, and other specifications required by the equipment manufacturer.

What safety precautions should be followed when using this infrared lamp?

Infrared lamps operate at very high temperatures and can present burn, eye, fire, electrical, and breakage hazards. Do not look directly at the operating lamp or touch it until it has fully cooled. Keep combustible materials away from the heating area and disconnect electrical power before installation, removal, cleaning, or servicing. Handle the quartz envelope with clean gloves or a lint-free cloth and avoid touching it with bare fingers. Always use the lamp in properly rated equipment and follow the equipment manufacturer's installation and safety procedures.
