Aismalibar North America to Exhibit at Strategies in Light
January 27, 2020 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
AISMALIBAR is happy to exhibit at this year’s Strategies in Light trade show in San Diego, CA on February 11−13, 2020. Strategies in Light is the leading LED and lighting event in North America and has been for more than 15 years. Aismalibar North America encourages visitors to come and view cutting-edge thermal management solutions.
Strategies in light covers every aspect of lighting to provide a 360-degree view of the market and offers a platform where professionals can learn, collaborate, and connect face-to-face. More than 200 exhibitors will showcase the latest products, technologies and services.
Aismalibar will showcase their newest technology, COBRITHERM ULTRATHIN 4W – TG180ºC−150ºC MOT. An Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS) based on an aluminum cladding with an ED copper sheet on the opposite side, it contains an innovative 35mm ultra-thin polymer-ceramic dielectric layer of its own formulation, offering industry-leading thermal conductivity and high dielectric strength. It also offers strong MOT, High Tg and Low CTE values, which are the key elements for performance of the MPCB operating at high temperatures.
In addition, Aismalibar will feature THIN LAM HTC 3,2W - Tg180°C - Td 420°C - Low CTE. By THIN LAM allows for easy temperature reduction of your board allowing for an increase the power or the processor clock speed to obtain better performance on the same electronic design. FR4 PCBs with high density of thermal vias can be replaced by a standard double side PCBs constructed with THIN LAM without the needs of thermal vias.
Finally, Aismalibar will showcase the BOND SHEET PRE PREG 3,2W - Tg180ºC - Low CTE. Aismalibar’s high thermal BOND SHEET (Thermal Pre Preg) can be used for different applications on multilayer PCB and MPCB industry. By using BOND SHEET, dielectric layers become thermally conductive and are ideal to release heat from the electronic components located on the functional copper sideways and to the heatsink.
About AISMALIBAR
Founded in 1934 and based in Barcelona, Spain, Aismalibar manufactures high end Copper and Metal Clad Laminates for the Printed Circuit Board Industry. Aismalibar’s expertise lies in offering the best solutions to reduce the operational temperature of the Printed Circuit Boards. Aismalibar materials ensure quality and reliability of all the products that incorporate them.
Aismalibar has implemented a 100% proof test with 1-3KV (High Pot Test) to every IMS laminate that is produced. These materials minimize the use of supplementary fans or heat sinks, thus reducing production costs. Aismalibar now operates globally through several subsidiaries. Our priorities are, and have always been technological innovation and customer satisfaction.

Trouble in Your Tank: Organic Addition Agents in Electrolytic Copper Plating
04/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere are numerous factors at play in the science of electroplating or, as most often called, electrolytic plating. One critical element is the use of organic addition agents and their role in copper plating. The function and use of these chemical compounds will be explored in more detail.
IDTechEx Highlights Recyclable Materials for PCBs
04/10/2025 | IDTechExConventional printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing is wasteful, harmful to the environment and energy intensive. This can be mitigated by the implementation of new recyclable materials and technologies, which have the potential to revolutionize electronics manufacturing.
Connect the Dots: Stop Killing Your Yield—The Hidden Cost of Design Oversights
04/03/2025 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsI’ve been in this industry long enough to recognize red flags in PCB designs. When designers send over PCBs that look great on the computer screen but have hidden flaws, it can lead to manufacturing problems. I have seen this happen too often: manufacturing delays, yield losses, and designers asking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me sooner?” Here’s the thing: Minor design improvements can greatly impact manufacturing yield, and design oversights can lead to expensive bottlenecks. Here’s how to find the hidden flaws in a design and avoid disaster.
