An electrical resistance heater includes a pliable thermally insulative base grooved in a major surface thereof and a flexible electrical resistance heating wire fitted within the groove. The heating wire insulated throughout its length is elastically gripped by the base and the outer surface portion of the heating wire throughout its length extends outwardly of the major surface of the base, providing a unidirectional heat source for use as a "spot heater". Connections of the heating wire to lead wires are disposed within two preformed cavities provided in the major surface of the base. The cavities open in the same direction as the groove and a suitable moisture impervious insulating material disposed within the cavities seals the connections.
