Aluminum PCB, Metal Core PCB Manufacturers

Aluminum-based PCBs, also known as metal-based circuit boards, are a special type of printed circuit board with an aluminum substrate as its core. Their most notable feature is their exceptional heat dissipation. With a thermal conductivity of up to 2W/mK, they rapidly dissipate heat generated during operation, effectively protecting core components and significantly enhancing product durability and stability. This product utilizes Shengyi's high-quality aluminum substrate, combining a robust 1.6mm thickness with a 36µm copper finish. OSP surface treatment ensures solderability, making it an ideal solution for applications requiring efficient thermal management, such as high-power LED lighting, automotive power modules, and power regulators.

Understanding the Core of Thermal Conductivity in Aluminum PCB Structures

The Decisive Component: The Thermal Dielectric Layer

In a typical Aluminum PCB (also known as Metal Core PCB), the structure consists of three layers: the Circuit Layer (copper foil), the Thermal Dielectric Layer (insulation), and the Metal Base Layer (aluminum). While the aluminum base provides the physical heat sink, the Thermal Dielectric Layer is the core factor that determines the overall thermal conductivity (W/m·K).

  • Thermal Resistance: Standard resins are poor conductors. The dielectric layer must be impregnated with thermally conductive ceramics to allow heat to flow from the components to the aluminum base while maintaining electrical insulation.
  • Thickness vs. Conductivity: A thinner dielectric layer reduces thermal resistance but must be thick enough to pass high-voltage (Hi-Pot) testing. Finding the "sweet spot" requires high-precision manufacturing.
  • Material Quality: High-performance dielectric materials can offer conductivity ranging from 1.0 W/m·K to as high as 8.0 W/m·K or more.

Anhui Hongxin Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. has mastered the complex balance of thermal management since its founding in 2013. Operating from a 20,000-square-meter facility in the China PCB Industrial Park, our professional engineering team leverages over 15 years of experience to optimize metal-based board designs. We specialize in selecting and processing high-conductivity substrates that ensure your high-power LEDs or power modules operate at peak efficiency with minimal heat degradation.
