Elprinta already manufactures IMS (Insulated Metal Substrate) boards for several years. Aluminium substrate which has a very low thermal resistance is typically used for heat transfer.
The increasing use of high power-LEDS also increases the need for a proper thermal management.
Several thermally conductive adhesives are available, but most of them have to be applied after assembling the board. Some are not fit for mechanical PCB processes such as drilling/routing and V-cut. Others cannot withstand the heat of wave soldering and reflow processing.
Elprinta has found the one thermally conductive adhesive which withstands heat and moreover which resists mechanical PCB processes.
As from now we can deliver your IMS boards with cut-to-PCB self adhesive, ready to use, thermally conductive tape.
Advantages :
- thermally conductive adhesive with excellent thermal performance
- eliminate your need for mechanical screws or fasteners and bond your PCB right onto the target surface
- no need to cut and paste thermal tapes after the board assembly
- certitude that the complete PCB surface is covered with adhesive.
