إرشادات التصميم & Operating Principle
Key Design Considerations:
-
Heat Source Placement: High-heat-dissipation components (على سبيل المثال, LED chips, power MOSFETs) should be placed on pads directly connected to or in close proximity to the aluminum base thermal pad area to ensure the shortest thermal path.
-
Electrical Isolation: Although it features a metal base, electrical isolation between the circuit and the metal core is maintained through the FR-4 dielectric layer و thermally conductive insulating layer. Design must ensure the required insulation withstand voltage (typically >2kV) is met.
-
Copper Weight Selection: Choose appropriate copper foil thickness (standard 1oz/2oz) based on current-carrying requirements. Widen traces or use copper pours for high-current paths.
-
ENIG Finish Advantage: ال 2u” ENIG surface finish provides excellent flatness and solderability, ideal for fine-pitch SMT components and connectors subject to repeated mating cycles.
Operating Principle:
The core functionality of this لوحة ثنائي الفينيل متعدد الكلور is to utilize the high thermal conductivity of aluminum (approx. 200 W/m·K) to rapidly absorb and spread heat generated by components on the circuit layer. The heat is then dissipated into the environment via the chassis or an external heatsink attached to the board. The structure acts as a “thermal highway,” conducting heat from localized hotspots across the entire metal base area, significantly lowering junction temperatures and enhancing system stability.
