The Heater Configurator offers customers a more convenient and time saving method of purchasing heaters online.
“This tool will help our customers quickly find the best possible catalog heater option for prototyping and evaluation purposes”, said Brian Williams, Minco Marketing Manager. “It will also provide information about the heater, and ensure the customer knows the appropriate operating parameters of these products”.
The Minco Heater Configurator accepts the input of dimensional values, or a ThermofoilTM heater part number, and generates catalog flexible heater options in polyimide (KaptonTM), silicone rubber, Thermal-Clear™ (optically clear), integrated heater/sensor, and mica substrate. Once a specific model is selected the customer can enter supply voltage and operating temperature requirements, and choose between different resistance values and backing/adhesive options.
