Minco Launches Flexible Heaters Design Guide at MD&M West 2007 - Responds to Increased Need for Education

Anaheim, CA, February 8, 2007 – http://www.minco.com – Minco, a designer and manufacturer of critical components for critical applications, today announced the launch of its Heaters Design Guide at the MD&M West 2007 tradeshow.

Minco will be showcasing the Flexible Heaters Design Guide at its booth #3009 for the duration of the MD&M West show, February 12 – 15, 2007.

The purpose of the Minco Flexible Heaters Design Guide is to steer design engineers all the way from the initial concept to the end application, and to provide a repeatable design process checklist for integrating flexible heaters into their designs on a regular basis.

“Minco has identified a real need for ongoing education in the design engineering discipline,” said Brian Williams, Heaters Division Global Product Manager, Minco, “and it’s a way to help OEMs to meet their goals of integrating efficient thermal systems into their advanced applications.”

The Flexible Heaters Design Guide provides step by step information on:
• How flexible heaters work
• Choosing a heater for prototyping
• Deciding on a long term heating solution

There is also detailed information on hundreds of stock and standard heaters available for experimentation and proof-of-concept testing, along with various options for temperature sensors and controllers for a complete thermal solution.

“Minco hopes that by offering Design Guides, engineers will feel more equipped to experiment in their designs to find the most accurate and reliable flexible heating solution available today,” said Williams.
