Minco began designing and manufacturing temperature sensors for aerospace guidance systems 50 years ago. We pioneered the development of Thermofoil heaters ٖ now a standard component in modern instrumentation. Minco contin- ues to build highly reliable and rugged components that survive the harshest conditions and still work when you need them to whether it is every two seconds or once every two years. > Minco is uniquely qualied to respond to industry demands for lighter, faster and smaller products. We֒ve leveraged decades of design experience, state-of-the-art technology and proprietary...

Thin, exible heating elements consist of an etched foil (Thermofoil > TM ) or wire-wound resistive element laminated between layers of insulation material such as Kaptonٙ, silicone rubber, mica, polyester or PTFE. > Etched Thermofoil heaters custom-designed to t around the perimeter of an application ensure optimal visual clarity and ample heating over the entire display area. Unlimited geography A wide variety of shape, termination and sensor options oer countless design alternatives for any application. Low mass ֖ Increases power use eciency because little power is lost in warming the...
