This must-read sequel to Ventec’s book series, The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... Thermal Management with Insulated Metal Substrates, Volume 1 and Volume 2, describes the popular applications, IMS products and selection criteria, and engineering support services that can help engineers understand and overcome thermal management challenges.
Didier Mauve
Well known and highly respected in the printed circuit community, Didier Mauve brings over 25 years of industry experience with him. His CV includes roles such as the sales and marketing manager of one of the leading distributors in Europe, and as managing director of the largest copper-foil converting service in Europe. Mauve joined Ventec in 2015 to strategically drive European sales. His particular expertise and interest in thermal management technology has been instrumental in helping Ventec become a global leader for high-tech and high-reliability materials.
Robert Art
Robert Art has over 30 years’ professional experience in electronics and printed circuit board materials, having previously worked in sales and account management roles at global PCB laminate distribution companies and component manufacturers in Austria. Robert joined Ventec in 2017 as area sales manager for Central and Eastern Europe.
In his current role at Ventec, Robert is now responsible for business development activities for the company’s IMS product lines to help Ventec further develop its leadership position for high-reliability thermal management solutions.

Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to… Thermal Management with Insulated Metal Substrates, Volume 2
The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... Thermal Management with Insulated Metal Substrates, Volume 2 spotlights material selection for cost-effective solutions and reliable designs. This book covers the latest developments in the field of thermal management, particularly in insulated metal substrates, using state-of-the-art products as examples and focusing on specific solutions and enhanced properties of IMS. These include not only the heat dissipation and the drive to increase thermal conductivity (W/mK), but the total thermal balance as well.
Readers will learn the various methods that have been applied to the modeling and testing of thermal materials. Different approaches give varying values of thermal conductivity when applied to the same material, and the effects of measurement errors and tolerance in dielectric thickness can also vary. One of the most pertinent questions answered is how to improve reliability of components as they become increasingly smaller.
