Metal Core / Thermal PCB
A metal core PCB manufacturer for thermal management — aluminum and copper core MCPCB that pull heat away from power and high-brightness designs.
Key Capabilities
When the heat has nowhere to go, the board becomes the heatsink. As a metal core PCB manufacturer, we build aluminum-core and copper-core MCPCBs that move heat away from power devices and high-brightness LEDs. Copper core carries the heaviest thermal loads; aluminum core balances cost and performance. We pair the metal core with heavy copper for high-current designs, held to IPC Class 3. Built for low-volume, fast-turn thermal prototypes in power and lighting.

Engineering Highlights
- Aluminum & copper core
Choose cost or maximum heat transfer.
- Thermal-optimized construction
For power and LED designs.
- Heavy copper option
For high-current thermal boards.
Why it's hard
Bonding the dielectric to metal with low thermal resistance and no delamination under thermal cycling.
How we build it
Validated aluminum/copper core processing with thermal dielectric, to IPC Class 3.
Applications
LED and high-brightness lighting, power conversion and supplies, automotive power and lighting, motor drives.
Material Selection
Core: aluminum or copper. Thermal dielectric conductivity, max metal thickness and base brand are confirmed per design (specialized data is being finalized). We confirm the exact material and availability with your design.
Design & DFM
- Specify thermal targets (power, junction temp) so we match the dielectric.
- Plan the thermal path from device to metal core.
- Watch dielectric-to-metal bond reliability under thermal cycling.
Proven
Aluminum/copper-core thermal builds to IPC Class 3.
