AQC has the expertise to think along and advise during the design phase of the PCB. We assure you that we will answer all questions quickly, adequately, but above all in a customer-oriented way.
Product Aluminum Products
An aluminum PCB belongs to the group MCPCB.
This is usually a single-sided PCB with a carrier made of aluminum. The purpose is of aluminum is to effectively dissipate heat from certain areas or critical components.
An MCPCB has a copper layer pressed against a metal carrier with a prepreg as an insulator. The backing can be either aluminum or copper, with aluminum being the most favorable price-wise. Copper has the best thermal properties. In addition to single-sided PCBs, double-sided or multilayer PCBs are also possible on a metal carrier.
CapabilitiesThe capabilities of Aluminum Products
If a lot of heat is generated by the components used, then a PCB with a metal carrier is a solution. MCPCBs are often used in LED applications.

The heat problem is effectively addressed, thinking for example of LED applications
- Design rules are standard
There are no special rules for designing an MCPCB
- More versions possible
Copper thickness, insulator with different heat properties, Other thickness of metal carrier, Copper instead of aluminum
- Not limited to 1 layer
Although a single-sided PCB is the most common, it is possible to design a PCB with more than one layer on a metal carrier.
