IMS pool

Insulated Metal Substrate Service

Made in Europe

Our PCB IMS pool service offers a cost effective solution for Insulated Metal Substrate boards that are used in today’s high-intensity LED, power conversion and automotive applications.

Using IMS boards helps improve heat dissipation management and thus can improve the life and reliability of your products.

Our IMS pool offers a cost effective solution together with all the benefits from our other order-pooling services for aluminium-backed PCB’s.
