Principle of IMS PCBs

New LED Substrate "ZeroGap"

"What is lighting of the future?"
LEDs are the first thing that spring to mind thanks to their high efficiency and almost indefinite service life. The all important factor behind the reliability of LED lights is LED cooling. Complete Article

Simplified diagram of the new PureGold surface

New Surface "PureGold"
-
corrosion-resistant and biocompatible

Time and again, we have been asked in the past few years if there is a surface that is resistant to strong acids but does not allow corrosion through pores or at edges. Calls for such surfaces have also been made by the field of cell research. Complete Article

Chip Test Boards for Super Computers

Chip Test Boards for Super Computers

CPUs of mainframes for banks and public authorities could not be purchased at the next electronics store quickly. These components are rather high-dense ceramic multilayer modules of the size of a square chocolate. Complete Article

Ultra-long flexible PCBs for new Twist Capsule Applications

Ultra-long flexible PCBs for new Twist Capsule Applications

In cooperation with a renowned industrial partner, a 5-meter flexible printed circuit board was developed and produced for satellite communications, which is being utilized in a new European telecommunications satellite program. Complete Article

Transponder Printed Circuit Board

Transponder PCB

This RF Printed Circuit Board from RT duroid 5880 Rogers and FR4 as base material is part of a special transponder circuit which was developed at Collaborative Research Centre 653 at university of Hannover. Complete Article

High-Current Project with Embedded Chips

High-Current Project with Embedded Chips

Embedded power components in printed circuit boards are a novel derivative of present thick copper and high current PCBs. By integration of semiconductor chips, cooling of dissipation power can be made even more efficient.

Graphics Card reloaded

Graphics Card reloaded

Separate graphics cards can scarcely be found in embedded systems since powerfull graphics driver are placed directly onto main boards of computers. But when needs on graphical output increase, the focus is directed towards separated graphics cards again. Complete Article

 

High-Current PCB with 2 x 1 mm Copper

High-Current PCB with 2 x 1 mm Copper

This PCB is made for currents of up to 500 Amperes. Both high-current potentials are lead in two electrical isolated massive copper layers of 1 mm thickness each. They are connected by numerous press fit contacts. Complete Article

 

Fan out Rigid-Flex-Multilayer

Fan out Rigid-Flex-Multilayer

The length of this board over all is not even 8 cm and the thickness is only 0.8 mm. The rigid area is completely free of adhesives to obtain a maximum of thermal cycle stability. Complete Article

 

Embedded Resistors

Etched Resistors at Inner Layers

Embedded resistors from Zeranin® of the tradition-rich Isabellenhütte Heusler GmbH & Co. KG are a real alternative to carbon, nickel, thick film or thin film resistors.
