"EI is UL certified for metal-clad PCBs and can work with various thicknesses of aluminum and copper metal cores, offering precise machining tolerances and high-quality PCB fabrication services for effective thermal management and long-term board reliability." Patel adds that EI offers everything from simple to complex multilayer circuit board constructions, depending on what the customer needs.
Ei uses state-of-the-art materials and configurations including the T-lam thermal lamination system, which includes T-Preg thermally conductive dielectric/ Prepreg, DSL or double-sided metal core laminate, and IMPCB's, insulated metal printed circuit boards. Other constructions include 2-layer T-lam, hybrid IMPCBs with FR-4/T-preg, multilayer metal base construction, and multilayer FR-4/T-preg hybrids.
"Whether the customer is building a more powerful central inverter for a solar installation, or needs a board with more LED density capability, EI has the materials, the manufacturing expertise, and the PCB design and engineering know-how and assistance needed to make the project a success" Patel said, in making the announcement.
“In addition, we perform and provide a thermal analysis for them of their planned designs and provide feedback that helps them ensure proper and efficient function as well as long-term product reliability" he added.
