IRC's AnothermŪ Plus Provides Thermal Management for LED and Solid State Lighting Applications


Anodized substrate technology withstands higher voltages, increases light output for LEDs.

LAS VEGAS, NV (May 6, 2008) - Providing lighting system design engineers with an improved thermal solution for LED and solid state lighting systems, TT electronics IRC has enhanced their AnothermŪ substrate technology with a thermally efficient glass dielectric material that withstands higher voltages, and enables increased light output for LEDs. Designated AnothermŪ Plus, the anodized aluminum material enhances thermal management for power LEDs in applications such as gaming and vending machines, outdoor signage and display, aquarium lighting, emergency vehicle lighting, as well as architectural and general lighting.

"Compared to other metal core PC boards, the AnothermŪ Plus substrates have improved adhesion and pull strength as well as higher dielectric strength, and provide more options for design engineers from a surface standpoint," said Tom Morris, applications engineering manager for IRC's Advanced Film Division. "The AnothermŪ Plus material's high thermal conductivity and low thermal resistance characteristics help increase the LEDs' lifespan."

The AnothermŪ Plus technology consists of a highly thermally conductive aluminum alloy substrate, with a thermally conductive glass dielectric material that is printed directly onto the aluminum substrate, providing excellent thermal transfer for LED assemblies that are mounted directly onto the substrates.

For datasheets or more information on IRC's AnothermŪ Plus technology, please access the Web site at www.irctt.com/anotherm.
