Aismalibar Adds Arkeo Stack to Library of Software Tools
February 9, 2021 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Aismalibar thermal conductive laminates, has added Arkeo Stack software to their library of software tools aimed at offering additional “value add” for their customer base. This advanced software offers PCB manufacturers the option of having Aismalibar create or evaluate a proposed build for a specific PCB design requirement. The software will calculate the thermal impedance for each layer as well as the complete build ensuring it will produce the required results.
Jeff Brandman, president of Aismalibar North America, says, “Those of you who know Aismalibar, know that we are always striving to find better ways to help our customers. That’s why we are so proud to add Arkeo Stack to our library of software tools that provide our customers with more value-benefits of working with us and with our fine line of Aismalibar Thermal conductive laminates.”
The Arkeo Stack software is preloaded with all the latest industry materials including IMS and heat sink materials. Offering accurate thermal impedance calculations, it also offers the ability to model thermal impedance values for sub-assemblies. The software includes all the necessary IMS thermal material information to be able to accurately design a stack up where thermal performance is key. Utilizing the APSIM impedance modelling platform the software also offers detailed impedance calculations.
Arkeo Stack is a fully automated, stack up generation software tool that quickly builds accurate and cost-conscious stack ups. Having your build created or double checked by Aismalibar reduces engineering time and costs while creating consistent, reliable builds. Arkeo Stack has a custom report generator that builds reports to suit the specific needs of your company during the processing and testing of your IMS printed circuit board.
This service is proudly offered to customers who purchase Aismalibar thermal conductive laminates. The service is designed to assist you to achieve the perfect stack up using thermal conductive materials. Aismalibar’s field application engineers have extensive experience in thermal management and PCB manufacturing and are ready to assist you with your PCB stack-up to achieve best results.

Growth Unfolds: The First of STARTEAM’s Trio of Factories Set to Expand
12/05/2024 | STARTEAM GLOBALSTARTEAM is thrilled to share news of our upcoming 3-step expansion at JST, with each step adding 50,000m² per month which began on May 27, 2024. This carefully planned extension is designed to significantly increase our production capacity and expand our talented team. Currently, our production space covers 30,000m². Through this expansion, we are setting our sights on incrementally increasing our capacity from 70,000m²/month to a remarkable 130,000m²/month.
Connect the Dots: Designing for Reality: Strip-Etch-Strip
12/05/2024 | Matt Stevenson -- Column: Connect the DotsIn the previous episode of I-Connect007’s On the Line with… podcast, we focused on pattern plating. At this point, we are close to completing our boards and ready for the strip-etch-strip (SES) process. By this stage of the manufacturing process, we have laminated all the internal layers together, drilled the through-holes, applied the image to the external layers through photoresist, plated the copper in those channels to beef up the copper thickness for traces, pads, and through-holes, added a layer of electrolytic tin over the top of that copper to protect it during subsequent stages of production.
Fresh PCB Concepts: PCB Design Essentials for Electric Vehicle Charging
11/27/2024 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsElectric vehicles (EVs), powered by electricity rather than fossil fuels, are transforming transportation and reducing environmental impacts. But what good is an EV if it can't be easily charged? In this month's column, Ramon Roche dives into the role of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electric vehicle charging (EVC)—and the design considerations.
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.
