Request InfoLaird TechnologiesLaird Technologies Inc. has released the enhanced Tlam SS LLD for use as a thermally conductive printed circuit board (PCB) substrate. The versatile, thermally enhanced PCB substrate system is designed for heat dissipation in bright and ultrabright LED module applications. The substrate provides eight to 10 times the heat dissipation as compared with conventional FR4-based PCBs, a key ability in keeping components cool. The boards are processed through standard pick-and-place surface mount technology and manual wire bond operations. Standard constructions are made with 1- or 2-oz copper and...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 8/31/2022RadiometerThe MDC4 smart filter radiometer from Gigahertz Optik GmbH features centroid wavelength detection and measurement of irradiance for LEDs, lasers, or other monochromatic light sources.
