An electric heating device comprises a housing with a partition wall which separates a connection chamber from a heating chamber for dissipating heat and from which at least one PTC heating element with a heater casing protrudes in the direction toward the heating chamber. The at least one PTC element and conductor tracks are supported in the heater casing in an insulated manner. The heater casing is sealed against the partition wall by way of a seal arranged in a receptacle of the partition wall circumferentially surrounding the heater casing. A press ring is arranged in the receptacle and surrounds the heater casing circumferentially, securing the seal in the receptacle. A method of forming such an electric heating device also is disclosed.

An independently-controlled PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater includes a PTC unit including first and second PTC elements for generating heat by an applied power, a guide frame having an opening to which the first and second PTC elements are mounted, first and second electrode plates configured to respectively make surface contact with one surfaces of the first and second PTC elements which are exposed through the opening, a common electrode plate configured to make surface contact with the other surfaces of both the first and second PTC elements which is exposed through the opening, and an insulation member configured to insulate the first electrode plate, the second electrode plate and the common electrode plate from an outside; and a heat diffusion fin provided at a side of the heating tube.
