High-Thermal FR-4 Single-Side Aluminum Base PCB Product Overview & Definición

In today’s high-power, high-density electronic devices, el thermal management capability of a Placa de circuito impreso (tarjeta de circuito impreso) is critical for product reliability and longevity. UGPCB 1.6mm Single-Side Aluminum Base PCB (1 Layer Aluminum Core PCB) is an innovative solution that combines a high-Tg FR-4 laminate with an integrated thermal management structure. This design achieves an optimal balance between the excellent electrical properties of FR-4, rentabilidad, and heat dissipation performance comparable to dedicated Metal Core PCBs (MCPCBs). Este Thermal Management PCB is specifically engineered to solve cooling challenges in applications like LED lighting and power conversion modules.

High-Thermal FR-4 Single-Side Aluminum Base PCB

Especificaciones principales & Clasificación Técnica

Scientific Classification:

  1. Por recuento de capas: Single-Sided Board.

  2. By Substrate Type: Rigid Composite Metal Core Printed Circuit Board.

  3. By Thermal Performance: High Thermal Conductivity PCB.

  4. By Primary Application: High-Power LED Heat Sink Board, Power Supply Cooling Board.

Pautas de diseño & Principio de funcionamiento

Key Design Considerations:

  1. Heat Source Placement: High-heat-dissipation components (p.ej., 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.

  2. 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 y un thermally conductive insulating layer. Design must ensure the required insulation withstand voltage (típicamente >2kV) is met.

  3. 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.

  4. ENIG Finish Advantage: El 2u” ENIG surface finish provides excellent flatness and solderability, ideal for fine-pitch SMT components and connectors subject to repeated mating cycles.

Principio de funcionamiento:

The core functionality of this placa PCB 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.

Materiales, Construcción & Características clave

Materials Used:

Board Construction:

The stack-up, from top to bottom, es: White Solder Mask Layer (with Black Legend) -> 2u” ENIG Pads/Traces Layer -> FR-4 Dielectric Insulation Layer -> Aluminum Metal Substrate. This “sandwich” construction ensures optimal electrical performance alongside superior thermal management.

Core Performance & Características:

  1. Superior Heat Dissipation: Integrated aluminum core provides thermal conductivity far exceeding standard FR-4 PCB boards, effectively reducing component operating temperatures by 20%-40%.

  2. Alta fiabilidad: El Material FR-4 TG150 offers enhanced thermal endurance, maintaining mechanical stability in high-temperature environments and minimizing solder joint fatigue from CTE mismatch.

  3. Excelente capacidad de soldadura: El Oro de inmersión de níquel químico (ACEPTAR) finish provides a flat, oxidation-resistant, and highly solderable surface, suitable for fine-pitch components.

  4. Mechanical Robustness: The 1.6mm overall thickness combined with the metal core results in a placa PCB with higher mechanical strength, resisting bending and vibration.

  5. Identificación clara: The white-on-black legend printing offers excellent readability during assembly and servicing.

  6. Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to full ceramic substrates or high-end pure aluminum PCBs, this solution provides superior thermal performance while maintaining a competitive fabricación de PCB costo.

Proceso de fabricación & Key Techniques

UGPCB strictly adheres to Normas IPC. The core manufacturing workflow is as follows:

  1. Panelization & Prep: Cutting the FR-4 and aluminum core laminate material.

  2. Imaging & Pattern Transfer: Transferring the circuit pattern onto the copper layer via photolithography.

  3. Aguafuerte: Forming precise copper traces.

  4. Perforación (if required): For mounting holes or thermal vias.

  5. Máscara de soldadura & Legend Application: Coating with white LPI solder mask, followed by exposure, desarrollo, and printing of black legend.

  6. Acabado superficial: Applying a precisely controlled Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold process to create nickel and gold layers on exposed pads, ensuring a consistent gold thickness of 2 micro-inches.

  7. Routing & Profiling: Board outline routing or V-scoring.

  8. Prueba eléctrica & Inspección final: 100% Flying Probe or Fixture testing to ensure circuit continuity and electrical isolation.
