Metal Core PCBs (MCPCBs) have become widely used in industries that require efficient thermal management. Unlike traditional FR4 PCBs, MCPCBs are designed with a metal base that offers superior heat dissipation, helping to manage the heat generated by high-power circuits.
However, choosing the right core material for MCPCB is crucial, as
Among the different types of Metal Core Printed Circuit Boards (MCPCBs), aluminum-based and copper-based are the most commonly used materials. They each have distinct advantages and are suitable for different applications. So, how do you choose the right MCPCB material? In this article, we'll compare aluminum-based and copper-based MCPCBs to
