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.

Unlocking Advanced Circuitry Through Liquid Metal Ink
10/31/2024 | I-Connect007 Editorial TeamPCB UHDI technologist John Johnson of American Standard Circuits discusses the evolving landscape of electronics manufacturing and the critical role of innovation, specifically liquid metal ink technology, as an alternate process to traditional metallization in PCB fabrication to achieve ever finer features and tighter tolerances. The discussion highlights the benefits of reliability, efficiency, and yields as a tradeoff to any increased cost to run the process. As this technology becomes better understood and accepted, even sought out by customers and designers, John says there is a move toward mainstream incorporation.
Fresh PCB Concepts: The Critical Nature of Copper Thickness on PCBs
10/31/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsPCBs are the backbone of modern electronics and the copper layers within these boards serve as the primary pathways for electrical signals. When designing and manufacturing PCBs, copper thickness is one of the most critical factors and significantly affects the board’s performance and durability. The IPC-6012F specification, the industry standard for the performance and qualification of rigid PCBs, sets clear guidelines on copper thickness to ensure reliability in different environments and applications.
Book Excerpt: The Printed Circuit Designer’s Guide to... DFM Essentials, Ch. 1
10/25/2024 | I-Connect007The guidelines offered in this book are based on both ASC recommendations and IPC standards with the understanding that some may require adjustment based on the material set, fabricator processes, and other design constraints. This chapter details high-frequency materials, copper foil types, metal core PCBs, and the benefits of embedded capacitance and resistor materials in multilayer PCBs.
The Cost-Benefit Analysis of Direct Metallization
10/21/2024 | Carmichael Gugliotti, MacDermid AlphaCarmichael Gugliotti of MacDermid Alpha discusses the innovative realm of direct metallization technology, its numerous applications, and significant advantages over traditional processes. Carmichael offers an in-depth look at how direct metallization, through developments such as Blackhole and Shadow, is revolutionizing PCB manufacturing by enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. From its origins in the 1980s to its application in cutting-edge, high-density interconnects and its pivotal role in sustainability, this discussion sheds light on how direct metallization shapes the future of PCB manufacturing across various industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, and beyond.
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality—Pattern Plating
10/16/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we painted the picture of the outer layer imaging process. Now we are ready for pattern plating, where fabrication can get tricky. The board is now ready to receive the copper traces, pads, and other elements specified in the original CAD design. This article will lay out the pattern plating process and discuss constraints in the chemistries that must be properly managed to meet the customer's exacting manufacturing tolerances.
