How high is "high"?  I know Rogers makes some materials that get as high as
.6 to .8 W/m/K.  That's relatively high compared to more conventional
laminate materials, but I don't think you're going to get a lot of heat out
through the laminate.

        attn: ALL

          I have a question regarding pcb laminate materials. We are looking
for a material with a high thermal conductivity.

        If there is anyone out there with knowledge of such or links to
same, it would be appreciated.

                Thanks in advance.
