So you read the latest edition of Electronic Products, too? -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Brooks,Bill Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 11:08 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Aluminum substrates... any issues? I ran across this supplier of aluminum boards and was interested if any of you have dealt with this type of thing before? I have seen metal core boards made with alumina and bonded with the fiberglass/epoxy for heat sinking needs but this looks like a different process. Possibly less expensive... ??? http://www.irctt.com/pdf_files/thickfilm_aluminum.pdf Any comments on it are appreciated. Best regards, Bill Brooks - KG6VVP PCB Design Engineer , C.I.D.+, C.I.I.
