Metal Core PCB

Custom low cost metal pcb from professional pcb manufacturer china shenzhen, PCBSKY provides best service metal core pcb prototype.

MCPCB, Metal aluminium Core PCB, thermal PCB - whichever name you prefer, they are all boards which use a base metal material as the heat spreader portion of the circuit board.

Base metals in the MCPCB are used as an alternative to FR4 or CEM3 boards for the ability to dissipate heat away from critical board components and to less crucial areas such as the metal heatsink backing or metallic core.

Metal Core PCB Fabrication Materials and Thickness

The metal core of the thermal PCB can be aluminum (aluminum core PCB), copper (copper core PCB or a heavy copper PCB) or a mixture of special alloys. The most common is an aluminum core PCB.

The thickness of metal cores in PCB base plates is typically 30 mil - 125 mil, but thicker and thinner plates are possible.

MCPCB copper foil thickness can be 1 - 10 oz.

Advantages of MCPCB board

MCPCBs can be advantageous to use for their ability to integrate a dielectric polymer layer with a high thermal conductivity for a lower thermal resistance.

Metal core PCBs transfer heat 8 to 9 times faster than FR4 PCBs. MCPCB laminates dissipate heat, keeping heat generating components cooler which results in increased performance and life.

Among all Metal core PCBs (MCPCBs, known for their ability to provide effective thermal dissipation for electronic products), Aluminum PCBs is the most common type - the base material consists of aluminum core with standard FR4. It features a thermal clad layer that dissipates heat in a highly efficient manner, while cooling components and increasing the overall performance of the products. Currently, Aluminum Base PCBs is regarded as the solution to high power and tight tolerance applications.
