Case Study: Catheter-Wound Cauterizing Element
A medical device company approached Minco with a flex circuit need. They were looking to connect a heated portion of their device to their power supply.
Minco Offering Expanded Line of SmartHeat SLT™ Heaters
Minco’s SmartHeat SLT™ heaters are one of the most exciting innovations in thermal management available today. SmartHeat is self-limiting, meaning it maintains a setpoint with no sensor or controller needed, using a unique polymer innerlay to regulate the temperature.
Learn More About Minco’s Flex Capabilities
Minco’s Design Guide can be a lot of information, but it can also overwhelm someone who just wants to look up a specification or two. In the case of our Flex Circuit Technology Overview, we’ve distilled some key points and stats into a four-page PDF.
All About Minco Products, Inc.
If you want to learn more about Minco, your best bet is the Company Overview that we’ve published, seen on the right. It covers the industries we serve and the product areas we manufacture, and even a little about Minco’s 60+ year history as a component manufacturer.
Engineer’s Corner Podcast #4: Minco’s New Product Introduction Process
Minco’s New Product Introduction (NPI) process was designed to guide the development of customer projects through design and production and to maximize their quality and manufacturability, ameliorate risks, and manage expectations.
Engineer’s Corner Podcast #2: Why Minco
In this podcast Minco Product Managers Brian Williams, Chris Clark, Darrell Hyde, and Steve Romslo discuss Minco’s strengths and capabilities, not only covering our products but also talking about our history as a manufacturer of custom solutions in applications deemed too critical to fail.
Advantages of Pads Only & Panel Plating Techniques
One of the primary decisions faced by our customers is whether to employ pads-only or panel plating when designing a flex circuit. You can see the two techniques in the image to theright: Figure A shows a 2-layer flex circuit with pads-only plating, whereas Figure B shows another circuit with panel plating.
Let Minco Help with Your New Product Introduction
We’ve had theopportunity to build solutions for countless companies over the years, and we’ve earned their trust not only because of the quality of the components we manufacture, but also our robust and thoughtful New Product Introduction (NPI) process.
