Process

Metal Core PCB Manufacturing Process

The complete MCPCB manufacturing process is based on the design package that makes the circuit board in physical form. Following is the process of MCPCB:

Step 1: Base material preparation

A metal core layer, a dielectric layer, and a copper foil layer are the base materials utilized to manufacture the MCPCB. Typically, copper or aluminum make up the metal core layer.

Step 2: Lamination

To create the MCPCB, the base materials are laminated together at a high temperature and pressure.

Step 3:Drilling

In order to mount components and connect traces, holes are bored into the MCPCB.

Step 4: Etching

To create the required circuit architecture, unwanted copper is removed using etching.

Step 5: Silk screen printing and Solder mask

Silk screen printing is used for labeling and Solder mask is used to protect copper traces.

Step 6: Final examination

The MCPCB is tested for reliability and efficiency.

How to Select a Metal Core PCB manufacturer

Circuit boards run into the most common problem of overheating. Overheating can cause permanent damage to the components, leaving the entire gadget unusable. In order to overcome this problem, several designs and manufacturing approaches are constantly being devised by researchers and one of which is MCPCB.

Metal Core PCB can be said to be a design or a concept, where a metal sheet is used in the core of the circuit board to encourage heat dissipation. The metal core also strengthens the overall circuit board. Metal Core Printed Circuit Board has now gained popularity among the PCB makers, as they’re now able to resolve heat dissipation easily.

How MCPCB solve the heat dissipation of LED

MCPCBs have metal conductors, which help in achieving better heat dissipation in the circuit boards. Metals are known to be excellent conductors of heat, and the use of metal in these circuit boards makes them more thermally conductive than other types of PCBs. In order to achieve metal thermal conductivity, the manufacturers of MCPCB add a layer of metal, such as aluminum or copper (since they distribute heat evenly).

The metallic layer is usually in the core of the circuit board, so both the surfaces of metal stay in contact with the circuit board. Furthermore, in addition to a metal core, the circuit board is attached to a metallic heat sink, which further draws heat away from MCPCB, resulting in heat dissipation of LED circuit board.

FR4 PCB Vs. MCPCB

This is a debatable topic, and the debate is carried out below.
1.The thermal conductivity is totally different in both these technologies. An MCPCB is far better in thermal conductivity (with 1W to 4W and 2W on average), as compared to FR4 PCB (having merely 0.3W).

2.While cutting an FR4 PCB, there’s no need for special process to be followed. Manufacturers can simply drill, route, assemble, bake, and finalize the circuit board. However, in case of MCPCB, every step will remain the same, except the fact that the makers will need diamond-coated cutting blades, so they can precisely cut down the metallic sheet for the circuit board.

What are design guidelines of MCPCB?

When talking about design guidelines of MCPCB, one can follow two design approaches, which are metal-backed and metal core. Both of them are different and are detailed below for you.

  1. Metal-backed
    The circuit board has all the components on one side and the metallic sheet is installed on the opposite side. There are no traces visible on the back side as the metallic sheet not only acts as a thermal conductor, but also as a cover that hides all the traces and shields the MCPCB. While the metal sheet remains untouched in this approach, the manufacturers can still put through-holes to create a routing.
  2. Metal Core
    The metal sheet is present in the core, i.e. in the middle and the components can be on both the sides of the circuit board. There can also be routing and through-holes on both the sides. This approach is very helpful in case of multi-layer PCB, where you can stack these metal core PCBs.

How to Choose An MCPCB Manufacturer?

How to Choose An MCPCB Manufacturer
How to Choose An MCPCB Manufacturer

You shall choose an MCPCB manufacturer who qualifies for the following points:

  • Always go with the manufacturers, who has latest technologies equipped in their factories. Latest technologies help in building a product in the most optimized way and in the timeliest fashion.
  • Choose a manufacturer who has all the qualifications in the domain. Never choose a manufacturer who doesn’t know what it’s doing, or else your project will fail terribly.
  • It’s very important to choose a manufacturer that stays updated to all the latest changes and technologies that are inclined towards the betterment of MCPCB. Never go with a manufacturer who lives in an old era or that follows old school methods of MCPCB manufacturing.

What Makes It A Good MCPCB Manufacturer?

Some features of a good manufacturer of MCPCB are as follows:
1.A good maker always replies to their customers promptly, because good makers are always there for the betterment of their clients. No client likes rude manufacturers. Therefore, customer relationship management (CRM) is highly crucial.

2.A good manufacturer always gives a clear quotation to their clients and quotes all the prices fairly. There are several bad manufacturers, who give unfair quotes to their clients to make huge profits. It’s important for good manufacturers to understand that if the clients get a cost-effective quotation, they’ll give bulk orders, which will increase the business.

3.Good manufacturers always help their clients in case of crisis. If the clients need any help in any regard, a good manufacturer will help them out.

MCPCB Cost Analysis

When it comes to MCPCB, several factors need to be taken into account to calculate the price. It’s important to consider minimum order quantity, size, type of MCPCB, and the number of layers in a circuit board to determine the right price. Ideally, a MCPCB with 6 layers can cost you 15 to 19 cents per piece. For high power MCPCB, the price can be as high as $6 per piece if the order quantity is low. Some cheapest MCPCBs of small size can be bought for as low as 3 cents per piece. Please note that shipping charges are calculated explicitly from the product price.
