Watch Minco’s New Video FAQ
Minco has been around nearly 65 years and as a result, we have encountered a fair number of FAQs – Frequently Asked Questions.
Stator Temperature Sensors with wide Hazardous Area Certifications
Minco’s S1 stator temperature sensors have broken barriers with their wide range of hazardous area certifications.
Introducing Minco’s New X-Ray Drill
Minco’s recent acquisition of a new x-ray drill improves our ability to create smaller feature sizes while demonstrating our commitment to expanding our multi-layer flex and rigid-flex capabilities.
Standard or Custom Temperature Sensors: Which are Best?
As with most difficult questions, it depends. Fortunately, Minco has you covered in either case with a wide range of sensor options including RTDs, thermocouples, thermistors, and digital IC sensors.
Monitor Temperature in Ultra-Low Freezer Applications
Temperature measurement in applications as low as -120°F presents challenges on multiple fronts. With Minco’s extensive experience using our wire-wound platinum RTD (resistance temperature detector) technology, paired with 4-20mA transmitters for simple and reliable signal transmittal, the following challenges of low temperature measurement can be overcome.
Improving Downstream Supply Chain Flexibility
When used in hazardous locations, equipment must incorporate certified temperature sensors which are tested and approved to operate safely within, and not introduce an ignition source into, hazardous environments. The challenge in specifying certified sensors is the wide range of certifications needed for different world areas.
World of Wheels: Social Distanced Fun at Minco
Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, Minco still finds a way to put on fun events for its employees. On September 24th Minco’s “party squad” put on the event titled “World of Wheels, which allows employees to bring in and display any sort of machine as long as it is on wheels.
Russian Certification Requirements for Temperature Sensors
Certification requirements for Russia can be confusing to the uninitiated. Fortunately, Minco has the necessary experience and certifications to understand and provide TR CU certification (EAC mark), Metrology (= Pattern Approval) certification, Technical Passports and Poverka part verification certificates.
