What is MCPCB(Metal Core PCB)?

Metal core PCBs (MCPCBs) are PCBs that have a metal core, usually made of aluminum and copper alloy, instead of the traditional FR4 PCB(Fiberglass Reinforced Epoxy). The metal core PCB has better thermal conductivity and more efficient heat dissipation. As a result, aluminum PCBs is ideal for high-power applications such as swimming pool LED lighting, power electronics, and LED car lighting and hotel lighting.

Types of Metal Core PCBs

Single-layer metal core PCB

Single-layer metal core PCB is the simplest MCPCB, which is only composed of a copper layer as the circuit trace, a thermal conductivity layer and a metal base (normally is aluminum or copper).

Two-layer metal core PCB

Two-layer MCPCB means it has two layers circuit layer on this board. But different with double-sided MCPCB, both two layers copper traces are on the same side and metal base located on the bottom side of circuit board.

Double-sided Metal core PCB

The structure of double-sided metal core PCB is the same as normal double sided FR4 circuit board. The metal core is in the middle of the MCPCB and sandwiched by the two layers copper traces.

Multilayer Metal Core PCB

Compared to standard FR4 PCBs, the construction of multilayer MCPCBs requires advanced technology and expertise in laminating multiple layers together with a metal core. As a result, the cost of multilayer MCPCBs is significantly higher than that of 2-layer or double-sided MCPCBs.
