Ceramic hot surface igniters,
built for OEM appliance platforms.
Si₃N₄, SiC, and Al₂O₃ ceramic igniters for pellet stoves, BBQ grills, gas furnaces, water heaters, boilers, and HVAC platforms. Our flagship CN-300 silicon nitride hot-surface igniter supports high-cycle ignition and OEM fitment, and is UL/CE certified for optimal performance.
Five hot surface igniter types, one supplier.
Pick by appliance and duty cycle. Each type has its own spec sheet and stock SKUs — open a product page for full specs and drawings, or send us your part number for a same-week quote.
Our flagship silicon nitride hot surface igniter for pellet stoves, BBQ grills, gas furnaces, and water heaters. Designed for high-cycle thermal duty, with 12V, 120V, and 230V variants built around a Si₃N₄ heating core.
General-purpose hot surface igniter for gas and liquid-fuel appliances. Compatible with most North American and EU gas appliance interfaces, standard mounting flanges.
Lower-cost replacement for older alumina-based ignition systems. Best for low-duty-cycle applications and cost-sensitive volume where Si₃N₄ cycle life isn't required.
High-temperature SiC heating element for industrial boilers and commercial water heating. Operates at higher surface temperature (up to 1500°C) than Si₃N₄ alternatives.
Cylindrical glow-plug form factor for diesel engines, oil burners, and auxiliary cabin heaters. Sealed metal-sheath construction to automotive-grade vibration spec.
What OEM buyers come to us for.
We're a direct manufacturer, not a trader. That means engineering answers, drop-in compatibility, and pricing that survives volume — without a middleman markup.
Drop-in replacements
Send a Norton 271N, White-Rodgers, or Robertshaw part number — we match voltage, power, mounting, and lead config to spec.
Free samples, 48-hour dispatch

DFM on custom parts
Send STEP/PDF/DWG and get a 48-hour DFM reply with material recommendation, then prototypes in 7–14 days.
Direct-manufacturer pricing
One factory, no trading layer. Stable cost at volume and engineers you can reach — not a sales desk reading from a catalog.
Appliances our igniters run in.
From residential pellet stoves to industrial boilers — each application links to a deeper engineering page with the recommended igniter type and case data.
High-cycle residential heating. Our flagship application — Italian OEM ships 180,000 units/year with BLK, −38% warranty returns.
Fast, reliable ignition for gas grills and outdoor cooking appliances. 3-second heat-up, weather-cycle durable, low-voltage variants available.
Residential and commercial HVAC ignition. Drop-in for major Western furnace OEM igniters across 120V and 230V platforms.
High-temperature commercial and industrial heating. SiC hot rod handles higher surface temperatures for demanding boiler duty.
Engine pre-heat, oil burner ignition, and auxiliary cabin heaters. Sealed glow-plug form factor to automotive vibration spec.
