Mica or Cartridge Heaters? Specs, Benefits, Drawbacks & More
Mica and cartridge heaters have similar uses, but they each have unique properties that can make the choice easier. Here’s a simple rundown.
Mica and cartridge heaters have similar uses, but they each have unique properties that can make the choice easier. Here’s a simple rundown.
Precision is a big part of temperature control. Engineers need heating systems that can keep critical devices operating at optimal temperatures, from in-flight sensors on
In applications where uniform heating is a priority, mica heaters provide an efficient, cost-effective solution. They’re an excellent option for custom-designed heaters that run toward
All-Polyimide heaters serve as Minco’s high-performance alternative to standard polyimide 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.
In today’s competitive markets, manufacturers are always looking for ways to cut costs, slash time to market, and improve product performance. But while component buyers are price sensitive, they also look at measures like total cost of ownership, reliability, performance, and customization.
The marketing team at Minco is excited to share our latest project: The Engineer’s Corner podcast. We sat down with five experts to discuss one of our most fascinating products: SmartHeat SLT™ self-limiting heaters.
Minco will be demoing SmartHeat SLT™ heaters at MD&M West, North America’s biggest medical device technology trade show. MD&M features nearly 20,000 attendees and over 1,900 exhibitors. It’s a premiere gathering of industry professionals sharing their latest products and technologies and it is the perfect venue to show off this unique product.
Quick and easy prototyping of heater/sensor systems is often a challenge. Enter Minco’s CT425 controller. The CT425 consists of epoxy-sealed electronics in a non-conductive plastic casing, with a pair of terminal blocks, a USB-B port, a pair of status LEDs, as well as two relays and a logic output.
Earlier this year, Minco was approached by Edina High School students looking for help with a project. The students were participating in their school’s Project Lead the Way (PLTW) engineering program, a series of semester-long classes that introduce students to engineering principles and expose them to different areas of engineering.
For more than 60 years, Minco Products has designed and manufactured heating, flex circuit, temperature sensing and instrumentation solutions for some of the world’s most demanding applications.
Thermal performance for standard and custom use cases — from environment stabilization to faster thermal cycling.
Accurately sense and measure temperature, humidity and fluid levels across a wide range of applications.
Achieve new design freedom with flex circuit solutions that improve reliability in a condensed package size.
System-matched controllers complement Minco sensors and heaters to deliver improved system accuracy.
