Insulated Metallic Substrate PCBs
Insulated Metallic Substrate PCBs
Your reliable PCB solutions provider
A metal-based PCB, also known as a IMSPCB, is composed of a metal substrate, which is usually either copper or aluminum. Due to its superior thermal dissipation, it is commonly used in various applications such as power supplies and LED lights.
WTT Enterprise has extensive experience of producing IMS printed circuit boards, which are commonly used for powering electronic components such as power meters and LED lights. These are also known as heat sinks. The base material used for these PCBs is either copper or aluminum.
What can we do?
For over ten years, WTT Enterprise has been continuously working on the production of metal substrates. It is capable of producing both aluminum and copper substrates, which have a combined thermal conductivity of up to 100 percent.
