Current IssueThe Hole Truth: Via Integrity in an HDI World
From the drilled hole to registration across multiple sequential lamination cycles, to the quality of your copper plating, via reliability in an HDI world is becoming an ever-greater challenge. This month we look at “The Hole Truth,” from creating the “perfect” via to how you can assure via quality and reliability, the first time, every time.
In Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.

Aismalibar to Exhibit at electronica 2018
November 12, 2018 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Aismalibar will return to Munich this November for the 2018 electronica trade fair and conference and will proudly launch two new products: Cobritherm Ultra Thin 4W; and Cobritherm 3.2W Thin Lam and Bond Sheets.
Cobritherm Ultra Thin 4W was developed to achieve high thermal conductivity, a Tg of 180ºC by TMA and an 150ºC MOT. The Ultra Thin 4W CTE Z axis is under 1.8% from 50 to 250ºC. Industry leading Thermal conductivity, strong MOT values, High Tg and Low CTE are the key elements for performance of MPCBs operating at high temperatures. Aismalibar Ultra Thin 4W will be available for mass production beginning in November 2018.
The new Cobritherm 3.2W Thin Lam and Bond Sheets have been developed to reduce thermal resistance on multilayer PCBs. The 150ºC MOT, high Tg value (180º), 3.2W thermal conductivity and Low CTE value under 1.8% ( 50 to 250 ºc) enhances the overall thermal performance. As thermal management becomes more challenging on multilayer PCBs, Aismalibar has developed a new technology capable of significantly reducing the operating temperature of the PCBA. Cobritherm 3.2W Thin Lam and Bond sheets will be available for all types of multilayer constructions and can be cladded to standard FR4 or solid metal cores.
About Aismalibar
AISMALIBAR was one of the first IMS laminate manufacturers in the world and was the first in Europe. AISMALIBAR is proud to introduce their material to the North American market in 2012. Their product IMS Cobritherm is a qualified and recognized Insulated Metal Substrate which gives the best thermal management solutions with high thermal conductivity, low thermal impedance and high dielectric capacity. AISMALIBAR has implement a 100% proof test with 1-3KV (High Pot Test) to all IMS laminates coming out of their plant. This is the only way to insure the dialectical strength is perfect and that production problems are detected before PCBs arrive to the end user.

The emphasis was on “resurgence.”
I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
06/13/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007Today is Friday the 13th, and in much of Western folklore, this is a day when bad luck is lurking. But while Friday the 13th may top Western superstition charts, the global calendar is sprinkled with its own unlucky legends. In Spain and Greece, the bad juju lands on Tuesday the 13th—a day linked to Mars, the god of war, and naturally, chaos. In Italy, it’s Friday the 17th that is feared, thanks to the Roman numeral XVII, which can be rearranged to spell VIXI—Latin for “I have lived” (a poetic way of saying you’re dead).
