Aluminum PCB has the ability to dissipate heat from electronics, it has a standard FR4 laminate and an aluminum core. The circuit board effectively helps dissipate heat with its unique thermal insulation layer. These printed circuit boards are most widely used in applications involving tight tole rances and high power. Choosing the type of aluminum circuit board depends largely on its use. A luminum PCBs are divided into three main types: through-hole aluminum PCBs, flexible aluminum PCBs, and hybrid aluminum PCBs.

Through-hole aluminum PCB: On a through-hole aluminum circuit board, the aluminum is pre-drilled. Afterwards, the dielectric is backfilled into the holes. Flexible Aluminum PCBs: In these PCBs, flexible dielectrics are used which provide a high level of flexibility, thermal conductivity, and electrical insulation. When these dielectrics are used with aluminum materials, the resulting products are highly flexible and can be formed into different shapes. Hybrid Aluminum PCBs: These types of aluminum PCBs are commonly used in RF applications and are known to provide better thermal performance when used in standard FR4 products.

Are aluminum PCBs one of the most widely used circuit boards? Aluminum PCBs are suitable for applications with high heat dissipation, mechanical strength and durability requirements. Metal core PCBs efficiently transfer heat and manage the temperature of the circuit. They can be used in a variety of applications such as Signaling Beacons, Surgical Lighting Tools, Powertrain, High Power Scanners, Automotive Dashboards, Interior Lighting, Power Converters, Medical Operating Room Lighting, Landscape Lighting, Tail Light Assemblies, and many more. Also, Aluminum PCB is a good reflector and can save the cost of reflectors in low level lightning products.
