Sourcing & Diretrizes de Substituição

1. OEM internal part alias for original unit: 1000345-00
2. Alternativa doméstica: Custom mica/ceramic heating coil with matched inner diameter, heating length and power. Inner diameter, effective heating length and cable outlet direction must be strictly verified. For integrated versions, thermocouple pocket position must be matched simultaneously.
3. Avoid model confusion:

1. Definição de modelo

INCOE BH16097

Categoria: Body Heater for DFX8-E / DF8 Series Hot Nozzle

Compatible Nozzle: INCOE DFX8-E (clamp-style nozzle, identical structure as drawing)

Code Breakdown

BH = Body Heater (lower barrel heating)

160 = DF8 size series

97 = Heating length code (longer than BH16077)

TH: Thermocouple pocket reserved; TH-TC = Integrated assembly with embedded K-type thermocouple (most common stock model: BH16097TH-TC)

2. Core Comparison: BH16097 VS BH16077 (NOT INTERCHANGEABLE)

Outer diameters are identical, visually similar, but heating length and power differ. Installation space inside mold is incompatible. Forced assembly leads to uneven temperature, material charring and burnout of heater.

Application Cases of INCOE BH16097 (BH16097TH-TC)

Precondition Summary

BH16097 = Body Heater for Extended DFX8-E Clamp Nozzle (200C)

Compatible Nozzle: INCOE Direct-Flo Gold DFX8-E (clamped hot nozzle, same structure as drawing)

Função: Dual-zone lower barrel heating component, paired with HH series tip heater to realize independent dual-temperature control. Compared with short-type BH16077, it matches extended DFX8-E nozzle. Shot weight range 30～675g, ideal for engineering plastic and high-precision appearance parts.

Suitable Materials: PA6/PA66+GF, PBT+GF, PC/ABS, PPO, TPE, modified PP etc.

1. Mass Production Industrial Cases

Caso 1: Automotive Interior Mold (Most Widely Used Scenario)

✅ Product: Door armrest base, dashboard small bracket, window switch housing

Mold Layout: 8-cavity DFX8-E Pneumatic Valve Gate Hot Runner System

Nozzle Heating Configuration (per nozzle, dual zone control):

Lower barrel: BH16097TH-TC (200C, K-type thermocouple integrated)

Tip: HH series nozzle tip heater

Process Problem Solved

Glass-filled PA66 material with poor melt flowability. Extended DFX8 hot nozzle has longer flow channel. Single tip heating easily causes temperature drop in middle nozzle section and stagnant carbonized material. BH16097 supplies stable heat to nozzle barrel, builds gentle temperature gradient, eliminates cold streak and reduces black specks from material carbonization.

Operation Status: Mass production mold for OEM customer, produção anual >800,000 shots per mold set.

Caso 2: Precision Automotive Electronic Housing (New Energy Components)

✅ Product: On-board BMS connector housing, sensor plastic base

Mold Layout: 4-cavity DFX8-E single-point valve gate hot runner

Material: PBT+30%GF (high-temperature engineering plastic)

Motivo de seleção

Deep cavity layout requires extended DFX8-E nozzle. Long nozzle demands segmented temperature control. BH16097 stably maintains nozzle barrel temperature, restrains axial temperature deviation along nozzle, ensures consistent filling and stabilizes dimensional tolerance of molded parts.

Comparison Reminder: Short DFX8-E for shallow cavity uses BH16077; extended DFX8-E for deep cavity must adopt BH16097, two models cannot be interchanged.

Caso 3: Large Home Appliance Structural Components (Washing Machine / Air Conditioner Plastic Bracket)

✅ Product: Air conditioner duct connector, washing machine shock absorption bracket

Shot Weight: 180～350g

Solução: Solteiro / 2-cavity DFX8-E open gate hot runner

Recurso de operação: Long continuous production, moderate color change allowed. Extended nozzle prevents local mold overheating caused by too-close distance between manifold and cavity. The integrated thermocouple of BH16097TH-TC collects temperature signal at nozzle middle section, provides more realistic temperature reading than external thermocouple and suppresses temperature fluctuation.

Caso 4: High-end Consumer Electronics Appearance Parts

✅ Product: Vacuum cleaner housing, power tool decorative cover (PC/ABS high-gloss parts)

Requisitos de Processo: Zero surface weld mark, yellowing and material carbonization

Valor: Independent dual-temperature control. BH16097 stabilizes nozzle barrel temperature, lowers risk of shear overheating of melt, meets strict surface specification of high-gloss components.

2. Unsuitable Working Conditions (Selection Risk Warning)
3. ❌ DFQ8 threaded locking nozzle: DFQ heater series adopts different model system, BH16097 cannot be installed;
4. ❌ Short-type DFX8-E (matched with BH16077): Nozzle length insufficient, BH16097 heater overlength leads to assembly interference;
5. ❌ DF5 / DF12 series nozzle: Dimensional benchmark mismatch;
6. ❌ Medical clean consumables (multi-cavity micro parts): DF5 / compact DF8 are mainstream choice, extended DFX8-E rarely applied.
7. Typical Failure & Spare Parts Case

Common issue encountered by multiple injection molding factories:

Heating wire burnout on original BH16097 installed on extended DFX8-E nozzle, mistakenly replaced with BH16077:

Fenómeno: Insufficient heating length creates low-temperature zone at nozzle middle;

Defects: Periodic cold material, silver streaks on product surface, frequent nozzle blockage;

Solução: Replace with genuine or dimension-matched domestic alternative BH16097TH-TC, restore standard dual-temperature curve.

4. Standard Purchasing Specification for Mass Production Molds

Standard full order model: BH16097TH-TC, 230V 200W

BH16097: Bare heater without thermocouple pocket (rarely ordered)

BH16097TH: Heater with thermocouple pocket, thermocouple excluded

BH16097TH-TC: Integrated heater + embedded K-type thermocouple (95% mold standard configuration)

INCOE BH Series (Body Heater for Nozzle Lower Barrel) Main Model List

Prefix Definition:

BH = Body Heater – lower nozzle barrel heater (matched with HH tip heater)

First three digits = Compatible nozzle series: 160=DF8/DFX8；240=DF12/DFX12

Suffix Rules:

Basic model BHxxxx: No thermocouple pocket

TH: Thermocouple pocket reserved

TH-TC: Integrated assembly with embedded K-type thermocouple (mais amplamente utilizado)

Tensão Padrão: 230V; listed power is original factory rating

1. DF8 / DFX8 Series (BH160XX Family, matched with DFX8-E nozzle on drawing)

Applicable shot weight: 30～675g | Mainstream for automotive interior & electronic housing

✅ Standard complete order example:

BH16077TH-TC / BH16097TH-TC / BH16117TH-TC

⚠️ Critical Reminder: BH16057 / 16077 / 16097 /16117 share identical inner diameter, heating length increases sequentially. Not interchangeable with each other.

2. DF12 / DFX12 Series (BH240XX Family, Large Shot Weight Parts)

Applicable shot weight: 140～2000g | Large structural parts, bumper, big housing

Order full model: BH24020TH-TC, BH24022TH-TC

3. Important Distinction: HH Series (Nozzle Tip Heater)

Common procurement confusion reminder:

BHxxxx: Body Heater – lower nozzle barrel heating (series in this list)

HHxxxx: Head Heater – nozzle tip heating coil, independent model series, not part of BH series

Exemplo: HH16055, HH16075 are DFX8 tip heaters, matched with BH heater to achieve independent dual zone temperature control

5. General Spare Parts Purchasing Notes
6. All models default voltage 230V; specify 110V clearly during order placement if required;
7. TC version adopts INCOE original embedded K-type thermocouple. Thermocouple pocket position must be matched when sourcing domestic alternatives;
8. Heaters for DFQ8 threaded nozzle do not belong to BH series, completely different model system, não intercambiável;
9. INCOE DF3/DF5 small nozzles have no segmented BH heater, equipped with integrated spring heater.
