<p>The present invention relates to a sheet like resistance heating element for a battery powered lighter. The heating element includes a first terminal for connecting the heating element to a first contact of an electrical circuit and a second terminal for connecting the heating element to a second contact of the electrical circuit. The heating element further includes a heat generating body arranged between the first terminal and the second terminal, the heat generating body providing an electrical current path between the first terminal and the second terminal, wherein the heat generating body comprises a planar contact surface along the path, whereby a width of said contact surface in the plane is substantially greater then a thickness of the heat generating body.</p> |
