E2E Helps Engineers Work Faster and More Efficiently
Since the early 2000s, Minco has been using a strategy called Engineer-to-Engineer (E2E) to increase efficiency in our customer relationships. This strategy includes cutting out the “middleman” in hopes that engineers can work more efficiently together.
SmartHeat Vs Arrows
Traditional etched-foil heaters require sensors to ensure the heater reaches its setpoint, and require a controller to manage the heater and maintain a fixed wattage. SmartHeat allows customers to skip this hardware because the patented polymer-based heater’s resistance is dynamic and increases with the temperature of the heater, automatically throttling power as it approaches the setpoint.
Engineer’s Corner Podcast #3: Common Pitfalls in Flex Circuit Design
Minco has been building flex circuits for our customers for decades and we’ve encountered countless challenges along the way. We see some of these pitfalls during the design process, others involve problems with documentation, and still others are mechanical issues with the design.

Engineer’s Week at Minco Products
Minco is an engineering firm first and foremost, and in fact our Engineering department consists of about one-sixth of our 650 employees. Because of this, we always take time to observe National Engineer’s Week (NEW), which falls on February 18-22 in 2019.
Protecting Lead Wires Against Physical and Electrical Threats
Sensor leads often live in pretty tough neighborhoods. Physically, they may have to negotiate tight corners, sharp edges, vibration, and impacts of various sorts. Electrically, they may be surrounded by all sorts of components and wiring operating at significantly higher voltages than the sensors.
