Robert McKeown Company makes thermally conduct Al tape. KIC did a study on which method (Kapton Tape, Aluminum Tape, Hi-Temp Solder) is the most repeatable. The study can be found in their website: http://www.kicthermal.com Al Tape placed 2nd, and

Back in a former life, we had 3 products that were PCBs bonded to aluminum boards. We used a PSA from 3M to bond the board to the aluminum. Polymers are almost invisible in x-ray, but ultrasound worked quite well. You should try CSAM. Don't know

Hi All, I'm hoping there is a PCB expert or two hanging around. We're having some solderability issue on our boards. The finish is ENIG but it doesn't seem to be related to the finish process itself. We did SEM and EDX analysis and found aluminum an

I have a few questions: Why are you unable to panelize an aluminum board? We run aluminum boards all the time utilizing both V-Score and Routed designs. Panelization aside, what are the issues that you run into at printing? Are you trying to print

So I think I've given up a bit on the FR4 coupons due to complexity and having to custom order them every time we'd need a reorder. In the past I've used aluminum coupons, about the size of a regular business card. Some extensive googling hasn't tu

Hi All, Currently we are producing a LED product using an aluminum core MCPCB with surface mount LEDs. In order to achieve better heat dissipation, we are considering transitioning over to a copper core MCPCB. My experience working with copper cor

Hello, There is curious PCB technology used for one aluminum LED PCB. First of all there is no solder mask. PCB tracks look grainy and there is no fillet near components. Tracks near components are thicker. A kind of material has been applied to

I used a CamAlot 5000 to apply conductive epoxy on an aluminum substrate about 4 years ago. I used the largest diameter nozzle CamAlot had, and I bumped the dispense and dwell times way up. It was the slowest stage in the process, but it worked out o
