An enterprise-class OEM was using lead-acid battery technology that was failing in high-reliability applications, forcing customers to perform costly replacements. ISM worked with the customer to implement a program to replace the lead-acid batteries with lithium-ion. The change extended the battery’s useful life to match product in which it was embedded. ISM created financial models that demonstrated the project as an investment that reduced the total product cost. Lastly, ISM and the customer designed an entirely new supply chain which leveraged the lightweight and module lithium-ion design for maximum value.

Power supplies have been a key ISM product for 30 years, and we’re proud to be recognized as an industry leader. We support high-reliability, enterprise class applications and low-complexity, high-volume commercial and consumer products.

The PCB has been at the core of everything we do since our founding. Our business naturally evolved from selling PCBs to also include the next stage, populated boards in completed products. As a value-added service to our customers, ISM conducts DFM/technical review seminars: day-long, face-to-face educational sessions in which our PCB experts meet with the customer’s design and engineering teams to review the technical specifications of their project. We listen to our customers’ unique needs and recommend optimized design solutions. In addition to reviewing such areas as base materials, copper requirements, and PCB design in general, we break down each element to truly understand such aspects as surface finish, solder mask color, impedance requirements, optimal board size, and others. We help customers strike a balance to design better-performing boards that are easier to manufacture, reducing costs and improving internal processes.
