IMS pool provides a fast, low-cost solution for prototype and small batch Insulated Metal Substrate or aluminium-backed PCBs. These are used wherever high heat dissipation is required. Today typical designs include high-intensity LED lighting, LCD backlighting, power conversion and automotive applications. Eurocircuits' 10 year order-pooling expertise means that we can offer aluminium-backed PCBs at low prices with no tooling charges. All boards are made in our own European factories. Deliveries start from 3 working days.

We are rolling out the service as part of our new online web-based PCB procurement administration system. This will come fully online at the beginning of April but before then you can order aluminium-backed boards at IMS pool prices via our On demand service.
