AISMALIBAR to Launch FASTHERM At Productronica
October 28, 2015 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 1 minute

AISMALIBAR is happy to announce their exhibit at the Productronica trade show in Munich, Germany on November 10-13. Productronica is the leading electronics manufacturing showcase in Europe. AISMALIBAR can be found at HALL B-1 BOOTH 350 and encourages all to come see their cutting-edge thermal management solutions.
AISMALIBAR will be showcasing FASTHERM their newest high technology Insulated Metal Substrate. FASTHERM was developed by AISMALIBAR to achieve a faster thermal transition from the LED thermal pad to the heat sink.
This superior thermal transition can be achieved by using the entire COBRITHERM HTC product range with either a Copper or Copper / Aluminium base. By using AISMALIBAR COBRITHERM HTC range together with FASTHERM technology, LEDs operate at a cooler temperature (30ºC to 50ºC lower) due to the direct thermal transition from the thermal pad to the heat sink.
Managing Director, Eduardo Benmayor states “We are very excited to be participating in Productronica 2015 and to be launching our newest techonology FASTHERM. The PCB industry is always moving very fast and we are determined to continue to position ourselves as a leader in thermal solutions.”
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.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
Trouble in Your Tank: Causes of Plating Voids, Pre-electroless Copper
05/09/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the business of printed circuit fabrication, yield-reducing and costly defects can easily catch even the most seasoned engineers and production personnel off guard. In this month’s column, I’ll investigate copper plating voids with their genesis in the pre-plating process steps.
Elephantech: For a Greener Tomorrow
04/16/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineNobuhiko Okamoto is the global sales and marketing manager for Elephantech Inc., a Japanese startup with a vision to make electronics more sustainable. The company is developing a metal inkjet technology that can print directly on the substrate and then give it a copper thickness by plating. In this interview, he discusses this novel technology's environmental advantages, as well as its potential benefits for the PCB manufacturing and semiconductor packaging segments.
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.
