New IMS prototyping service from PCB-POOL

PCB-POOL, a manufacturer of prototype printed circuit boards has announced the introduction of a new metal core (insulated metal substrate) pcb prototyping service.

Metal Core pcbs are designed to transmit heat away from operating areas on the pcb or components to less critical areas such as metal heat-sink backing and metallic core. Designers of high intensity LEDS, power converters, automotive applications or any circuits requiring greater heat dissipation can now take advantage of reduced pricing and shorter lead-times offered within this new PCB-POOL service. Various machining methods have been integrated in the IMS manufacturing process, these include the ability to produce threaded drills holes, counter sinking and controlled depth milling using the latest CNC technology. What's on offer? 1 layer IMS pcbs No minimum quantity Various soldermask & silkscreen colours available No tooling or Set up charges Lead Free HASL surface finish 1.5 mm thickness 100 µm isolation layer 35 µm copper FREE laser SMT stencil with all prototype orders.
