Single-sided aluminum prototype PCB assembly

Aluminum Substrate Overview

Among all metal-core PCBs, aluminum-core PCBs are the most common type. The substrate consists of an aluminum core and standard FR4. It has a thermal cladding layer that effectively dissipates heat, cooling components and enhancing the overall performance of the product. Currently, aluminum backplane PCBs are considered solutions for high-power and tight-tolerance applications.

Advantages of Aluminum Substrates

1. Environmentally friendly: Aluminum is non-toxic and recyclable. Using aluminum also benefits energy conservation since it is easy to assemble. For PCB suppliers, using this metal helps maintain the health of our planet.
2. Heat dissipation: High temperatures can cause serious damage to electronic products, so using materials that help dissipate heat is wise. Aluminum can actually transfer heat away from critical parts, minimizing its adverse effects on the circuit board.
3. Greater durability: Aluminum provides strength and durability that ceramic or fiberglass bases cannot offer. Aluminum is a robust substrate that reduces accidental breakage during manufacturing, handling, and everyday use.
4. Lightweight: Aluminum is a very lightweight metal with incredible durability. Aluminum adds strength and elasticity without adding any extra weight.
