Aluminum-based PCB can continuously improve the durability and long-term reliability of the final product through temperature control and corresponding failure rate reduction.Aluminum design also offers better mechanical stability and lower thermal expansion than other available materials.

Aluminum PCB Layer：

Aluminum PCB is a unique layered system composed of the following layers.

• Circuit layer:Printed circuit foil, 1 oz to 5 oz thick.
• Dielectric layer:Dielectric layers can have many different choices that provide electrical isolation with minimal thermal resistance.It is also used to bond the circuit layer to the base material.Each specific dielectric has its own UL certification.Please refer to the list below to understand the various materials in our stock to ensure a variety of options for fast delivery.
• The basic level:The base layer is usually aluminum, but it can also be copper.Although there are many thickness options, the most common thickness is 0.040 inches (1.0mm).

Aluminum PCB Advantage：

• Improving product durability
• Power density increase
• Increase thermal efficiency
• Reduce the number of interconnects
• Lower junction temperature
• Reduce PCB size
• Eliminate old hardware
• Reduce the workforce required for assembly
• Various shapes and sizes
• Minimize thermal impedance

Aluminum PCB Application：

You can use aluminium sheets to improve the durability and performance of the product.The simple design and low thermal resistance of the dielectric output make it an insulator for all other printed circuit boards of power and high operating temperature components.Compared with copper, the lower cost, lightweight materials and excellent durability are the biggest reasons why aluminum is used in these applications.
