I want to run a small kapton sheet heater to my RAMPS board for a paste extruder. My concern is that the wire is very thin and I do not want to burn out the heater. WIll it be fine? Any suggestions?

Ultra-Thin Heat Sheet 28 VAC, Rectangle, 1/2" X 2", 5W @ 5W/SQ Inch .18Amps

Nice. I didn't know McMaster had those. Looks like they come with the wires already attached? I would guess they used the proper gauge wire for the power they're rated for.
