AISMALIBAR to Present FASTHERM at Ford Advanced Lighting Innovation Expo 2017
September 25, 2017 | AismalibarEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Aismalibar is set to introduce their newest product offering, FASTHERM, at the Ford Advanced Lighting Innovation Expo (ALIE) show in Dearborn, MI on October 3-4, 2017.
FASTHERM was developed by AISMALIBAR to achieve a faster thermal transition from the LED thermal pad to the heat sink. This technology allows LEDs to operate at a temperature 30°C to 50°C lower due to the direct thermal transition from the 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.
Jeff Brandman, President of Aismalibar North America, remarks, “We’re very excited to continue to work with FORD in automotive lighting product development. It is exciting to introduce FASTHERM at such a specialized event and we look forward to presenting our technical capabilities to all stakeholders at the expo.”
ALIE is a unique, ground-breaking opportunity to network with top global OEMS, manufacturers, engineers, buyers and designers directly involved in new and innovative automotive lighting technology.
Aismalibar is a global leader for insulated metal substrates used in the manufacturing of automotive lighting. With strong relationships with many TIER 1 suppliers their products can be found in lighting for many vehicles manufactured around the world and are in current generation Ford, Mercedes, Audi and BMW vehicles among others.
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.

The Chemical Connection: Reducing Etch System Water Usage, Part 2
05/02/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn my last column, I reviewed some relatively simple ways to reduce water usage in existing etch systems: cutting down cooling coil water flow, adding chillers to replace plant water for cooling, lowering flow rate nozzles for rinses, etc. This month, I’ll continue with more ways to control water usage in your etcher. Most of these are not easily retrofittable to existing equipment but should be given serious consideration when new equipment is contemplated. With the right combination of add-ons, it is possible to bring the amount of water used in an etch system to almost zero.
Designer’s Notebook: What Designers Need to Know About Manufacturing, Part 2
04/24/2024 | Vern Solberg -- Column: Designer's NotebookThe printed circuit board (PCB) is the primary base element for providing the interconnect platform for mounting and electrically joining electronic components. When assessing PCB design complexity, first consider the component area and board area ratio. If the surface area for the component interface is restricted, it may justify adopting multilayer or multilayer sequential buildup (SBU) PCB fabrication to enable a more efficient sub-surface circuit interconnect.

Heavy Copper PCBs: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Fabrication, Part 1
04/01/2024 | Yash Sutariya, Saturn Electronics ServicesThey call me Sparky. This is due to my talent for getting shocked by a variety of voltages and because I cannot seem to keep my hands out of power control cabinets. While I do not have the time to throw the knife switch to the off position, that doesn’t stop me from sticking screwdrivers into the fuse boxes. In all honesty, I’m lucky to be alive. Fortunately, I also have a talent for building high-voltage heavy copper circuit boards. Since this is where I spend most of my time, I can guide you through some potential design for manufacturability (DFM) hazards you may encounter with heavy copper design.
