Environmental Stability
In extreme environments, it’s critical that your equipment is working and reliable. When temperatures range from -55°C to 600°C, you need to be assured that your equipment will be accurate and consistent. That’s what Minco delivers, even in extreme environments:
- Holds environmental conditions at consistent elevated temperatures
- Allows commercial ICs, batteries and LCDs to function properly in cold weather environments
- Meets expanding industry performance specs (-55°C to 600°C)
- Improves the function and performance of your outdoor device
Application Examples
Recent environmental stability solutions from Minco include:
- Aerospace - battery applications, cockpit displays and avionics, angle of attack sensors
- Defense - handheld communications, night vision systems, ruggedized laptops
- Telecommunications - fiber optic network equipment
- Communications - cell tower base stations
Understanding Your Requirements
Minco will work with you to develop a thermal cycling solution. To help us understand your specific applications requirements, use the list below as a guideline of what we need to know:
- Available power budget (wattage)
- Start temperature
- Control temperature
- Ideal temperature ramp up time (seconds)
- Material and configuration of the mounting surface
- Available area/space where temperature sensing can occur
- Broad thermal system needs – see below
