Pcbtech

IMS PCB’s or metal core PCB’s are known for their ability to provide effective thermal dissipation for electronic products. They use a base metal material as the heat spreader portion of the circuit board. Aluminum PCBs is the most common type – the base material consists of aluminum core with standard FR4. It features a thermal clad layer that dissipates heat in a highly efficient manner, while cooling components and increasing the overall performance of the products.

The thermal conductivity assisted by the aluminium core in the circuit boards makes higher packing densities, longer operating times, and improved security against failure possible, such as for LED technology and for high power transistors.

The integration of the cooling unit in the printed circuit board also results in space savings.
