World Leaders in Insulated Metal
Substrates and Circuits

TCLAD's Thermal Clad is the leading global solution provider for thermal management Insulated Metal Substrates™. 

Providing robust, high quality thermal management dielectrics materials used in insulated metal substrates for your most demanding applications.

TCLAD's Thermal clad is a three layer system comprised of the following

  • Circuit Layer

    Using standard ED printed circuit foils with thicknesses ranging from 0.5oz to 10oz (17-350um).

  • Dielectric Layer

    The dielectric layer is thermally conductive with excellent electrical strength and is the bonding layer from the circuit to metal base.

  • Base Layer

    This is often aluminum, but other metals such as copper can be used. The base materials are available in a variety of standard gage thicknesses. Please contact us for specific thickness.
