Electronic Interconnect (EI) offers Photovoltaic (PV) product manufacturers a widerange of printed circuit board materials, constructions, and PCB design expertise especially for high-power devices, LED, RF and Wireless electronic assemblies, including inverters and module assembly. These types of assemblies have special requirements for heat management characteristics, and this is an area that EI specializes in, according to Pratish Patel, President and CEO.
Solar Applications
"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.
