Minco is responding to many engineers’ need to "self-educate" early in the product development process with the launch of three new educational design kits: one for Flexible heating elements, one for Flex Circuits and one for Non-Invasive Sensors, to meet a growing need from engineers to "self educate" early in the product development process.
Minco created the design kits to act as an instructional tutorial to provide engineers with a structured way to experiment, prototype and learn about Minco's technology and benefits.
"Minco is focused on providing design engineers with solutions, not just products. These kits act as a first step for design engineers to test Minco heaters, flex circuits and sensors and ultimately find a solution to their application or problem," said Brian Williams, Heaters Product Manager, Minco.
The Flexible Heaters Prototype Design Kit includes flexible heaters of various shapes and sizes in polyimide and silicone rubber insulation. The heater kit also comes with 100 ohm platinum INDUSTRIAL RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensors, PSA (pressure sensitive professional adhesive) and Silicone RTV adhesive. Just as valuable is the Design Guide Booklet that features a start-up guide, many pages of technical specifications and applications ideas, and whitepapers for education and prototyping techniques.
"Minco realizes that OEM engineers possess a need to teach themselves about technology and address product design concerns in the research and specification phases of the buying process," said Glenn Bergum, Sensors Product Manager, Minco. "The Flexible Heaters, Flex Circuits and Non-Invasive Sensors Design Kits demonstrate Minco's anticipation of that need."
