Insulated Metal Substrates Market: Overview

An insulated metal substrate is a PCB (Printed circuit Board) that is built on a metal plate made up of aluminum on which a particular kind of prepreg is applied. Reportedly, the key qualities of prepreg are its outstanding capacity for heat dissipation and high dielectric strength against high voltages. Moreover, large-scale use of insulated metal substrates in power electronics, LEDs, solid-state relays, and automotive will enhance the demand for insulated metal substrates. In addition to this, the large-scale use of the product in voltage regulators, equalizers, amplifiers, and motors has enhanced the popularity of insulated metal substrates. Furthermore, insulated metal substrates are utilized for capturing and transferring heat from various components.
