Aluminum PCB Advanced Circuits Specification

Printed circuits boards (PCB) is one of the most important components for manufacturing any electronic product. Several types of PCBs are manufactured based on specific specifications and the area where that particular circuit operates. This article covers the utilization of metal core PCBs such as aka MCPCBs which are famous for their efficient dissipation of heat in electronic products. The most common type of metal core PCBs is the Aluminum core PCB that consist of Aluminum core along with FR4 standard. This type of PCB is very good for thermal dissipation of thermal clad layer in an effective manner and cools rest of the circuit components with increase in the performance of the products. Nowadays, to tackle the high power and tight tolerance applications, Aluminum backed PCBs are used for better endurance and high heat dissipation abilities in electronic circuits-based products.

Aluminum PCB Advantages

There are several advantages of Aluminum PCB. Some of them are discussed below:

Firstly, Aluminum is an environment friendly element with no toxics and ability to recycle back in the atmosphere. It is very easy to assemble Aluminum and due this reason the manufacturing of Aluminum is highly energy efficient. The PCB manufacturers should use this metal because Aluminum has no hazards and can help in maintaining the human health and life.

Secondly, Aluminum has high heat dissipation capacity and can be used in electronic circuit from damage in high temperature conditions. It can usually transfer heat away from different components and ultimately reduces harmful effects if implemented circuit boards with this metal.

Thirdly, Aluminum has the ability to provide durability and strength to the product as compared to products developed from ceramics, fiberglass or any other material.

Lastly, Aluminum is light in weight and due to high durable nature, it can add strength and resilience without adding any extra weight.

Aluminum PCB Applications

Aluminum is used in the manufacturing of audio devices such as input/output amplifiers, balanced and audio amplifiers, pre and post amplifiers, and other power application purposes.

Aluminum has great applications in power supplies such as switch regulation, converters, SW regulation, etc.

Equipment for electronic communication can also be constructed from Aluminum such as high-frequency filters, appliances for filtering and circuits for transmission and receiving of electronic signals.

Applications such as office automation motor drives show significance of this metal.

Aluminum can be applied in automobile industry. For example, electronic regulators, ignition, controller for power supply are some important applications of Aluminum.

Computer applications such as CPU boards, floppy disks, power supply devices can be manufactured from Aluminum PCB.

Aluminum can be applied in lambs and lighting of several devices. For example, energy saving lambs, various range of colored LED lights and PCB based LED lights are important applications of this metal.
