Metal Core PCB

Metal Core PCBs are designed to transmit heat away from operating areas or components on the printed circuit board to less critical areas such as metal heatsink backing and metallic core.

Metal Core PCB Materials

We are working with alternative suppliers to develop materials and process flows that are equivalent (or superior) to the current standard Laird and Bergquist offerings. Once this is complete, we will be able to offer you a viable alternative that will help to save on the piece price of a Metal Core PCB while at the same time reducing lead times due to widely available MCPCB materials.

PCB Heatsink Registration

We have developed a process flow that allows us to utilize our existing multilayer registration system in registering the heatsink to the PCB accurately to within 5 mils prior to bonding.

MCPCB Machining

We have developed different methods of machining to produce to produce high quality product using metal heatsink and metal core. These include integrating a variety of different machining tools in the fabrication of our Metal Core PCB. A smooth finish is insured by combining existing CNC machining operations as well as specialized mechanical and chemical deburring processes.
