Guidelines for Metal Core PCB Prototyping Sheet Safety

When it comes to metal core PCB, its prototyping sheet needs to have premium protection.

It is essential since unprotected PCB prototyping sheets can cause some serious concerns to the electronic devices.

So, you should ensure the protection of all the metal PCBs such as aluminum PCB or copper PCB.

You can protect them with the following easy steps:

MCPCB sheets come with two layers of plastic films, top film, and bottom film.
When you start manufacturing the PCB, at first, cut through the top film and separate the two sections.

As you cut through the top film, it removes the copper side.
Now use a sponge to clean the copper side to make it look bright and shiny.
When the copper side shines, you should clean it with acetone. You can drip a rug in the acetone for the cleaning purpose.

Once you can perform the steps with success, the metal-clad PCB should be safe and ready for extreme use.

However, you must note that not all manufacturers will deliver you the best copper PCBs.

YScircuit with its 10+ years of experience in PCB manufacturing promises you to deliver the right copper PCB following the right schedule.

We have a specialized manufacturing system for the copper-based printed circuit boards which ensures maximum accuracy.

Also, with the ability to produce various PCBs using copper and other metals, YScircuit is your go-to option, for sure.

FQA

1. What is the thickness of a metal core PCB?
The thickness of the metal core in a PCB substrate is typically 30 mil - 125 mil, but thicker and thinner boards are possible.

2. What are the advantages of metal core board?
Metal core boards transfer heat 8 to 9 times faster than FR4 PCBs.
These metal core laminates keep heat-generating components cool by dissipating heat faster.
The dielectric material is kept as thin as possible in order to create the shortest path from the heat source to the metal backplane.

3. How is a metal core PCB made?
If the board is a single-layer board with no layers transitioning back to the metal plate, the dielectric layers can be pressed and bonded to the metal plate using the standard process used with FR4 dielectrics.

4. What is a metal core PCB?
A metal core printed circuit board (MCPCB) is a printed circuit board that contains base metal materials.
The core is designed to transfer heat away from components that generate a lot of heat.
