High Reliability
What significantly affects the reliability of electronic products is the number of soldered connections. IMSTTM devices use ultrasonic bonded aluminum wires and allows the number of soldered connections to be reduced. IMSTTM, which stands for Insulated Metal Substrate Technology, is a mounting technique that yields a high level of reliability while achieving high-density mounting.
Comparison of the number of connection for an IMSTTM substrate and for PCB mounting


When IMSTTM and PCBs are compared, the number of connections from point A to point B in the figure below is 8 for PCBs, whereas it is only 3 for IMSTTM.
