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.

*Notes
- Subject to design meeting our IMS pool manufacturing and assembly specification and component availability.
- The price cannot be automatically calculated for a PCB containing more than 200 BOM lines or 1000 component placements, our engineering department will evaluate and send you an offer usually within 24 hours.
- These conditions are available in our calculator/Visualizer and will only be confirmed in our order confirmation.
