Understanding The Difference Between Aluminum Board And PCB

What is aluminum board

 

Aluminum board is a kind of metal based copper clad board with good heat dissipation function. Generally, single panel is composed of three layers, which are circuit layer (copper foil), insulation layer and metal base layer. It is common in LED lighting products. There are two sides, one side of white is welded led pin, the other side is aluminum color, generally will be coated with heat conduction paste and contact with the heat conduction part. There are also ceramic board and so on.

 

What is PCB

 

PCB board generally refers to printed circuit board. PCB (PCB board), also known as PCB, is the provider of electrical connection of electronic components. It has been developing for more than 100 years; Its design is mainly layout design; The main advantage of using circuit board is to reduce the errors of wiring and assembly greatly, and improve the automation level and production labor rate.

 

According to the number of layers of circuit boards, it can be divided into single panel, double-sided board, four-layer board, six-layer board and other multilayer circuit boards. Since printed circuit board is not a general end product, it is a little confused in the definition of name. For example, the motherboard for personal computer is called motherboard, but not directly called circuit board. Although there are circuit boards in the main board, it is not the same, so it is not necessary to say the same when evaluating industry. For example, because there are IC parts loaded on the circuit board, the news media call him IC board, but in fact, he is not equal to printed circuit board. We usually refer to printed circuit board as bare board – that is, circuit board without upper element.

 

The difference between aluminum board and PCB board

 

For some small partners who have just engaged in the aluminum board industry, there will always be such a question. That is, what is the difference between aluminum board and PCB board. For this question, the following part will tell you exactly what differences are there between the two?

 

PCB board and aluminum board are designed according to the requirements of PCB. Currently, the aluminum based PCB board in the market is generally single-sided aluminum board. PCB board is a large type, aluminum board is only one kind of PCB board, it is aluminum based metal plate. Because of its good thermal conductivity, it is generally used in LED industry.

 

PCB board is generally copper board, which is also divided into single panel and double-sided board. The material used between the two is very obvious difference. The main material of aluminum board is aluminum plate, and the main material of PCB board is copper. Aluminum board is special for its PP material. The heat dissipation is quite good. The price is also quite expensive

 

Compared with the two in heat dissipation, the performance of aluminum board in heat dissipation is more superior to PCB board, and its thermal conductivity is different from that of PCB, and the price of aluminum board is relatively expensive.
