Aluminium PCB - Aluminium backed printed circuit board

Aluminium backed PCBs have many benefits over conventional PCBs:
• Dissipation of heat without using additional heatsinks.
• Mechanically rigid, increasing the physical strength of the assembly
• Reduces the effect of thermal stress on all components, increasing life and durability.
• Improved thermal conduction leading to versatility in component and tracking layout enabling PCB dimensions to be reduced.
• Reduces component operating temperatures, improving reliability.
• Substrate aluminium can be drilled / machined and routed, aiding PCB mounting.
Cephos can assist in the design of your aluminium PCB, maximising the benefits that an aluminium pcb can exhibit over conventional pcb material, reducing costs in the areas of pcb dimensions, reduction in the requirement of bulky heatsinks and pcb mounting hardware
COBRITHERM® by Aismalibar
COBRITHERM® is an Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS), a base of thick aluminium clad with ED copper foil
COBRITHERM® is designed for effective thermal dissipation. With a proprietary formulated epoxy-ceramic bonding layer, high thermal conductivity, dielectric strength and thermal endurance is guaranteed. Mainly intended for SMD technologies, the laminate can resist all kinds of mass soldering processes at high temperatures. The laminate is supplied with a PETP protective film on the aluminium side to protect it against wet PCB processes.
Available material dimensions:
Copper: 35, 70, 105 and 210 micron
Aluminium: 1, 1.5, 2, 3 mm
