What are the Advantages of Copper Base PCBs
Copper base PCB, that is, a printed circuit board with copper as the base material, is widely used in various field of electronic products, especially in power electronics, power modules, LED lighting and automotive electronics. Compared with other types of PCBs, copper base PCBs have many unique advantages , which make them irreplaceable in specific applications. So what are the advantages of copper base PCBs? 1. Excellent H eat D issipation P erformance Copper has a higher thermal conductivity (about 400W/m · K), which is much higher than aluminum (about 200W/m · K) and FR4 substrates (about 0.3W/m · K). This makes Copper base PCBs excellent in heat dissipation performance, and is particularly suitable for application scenarios that require efficient heat dissipation, such as high-power LEDs, power modules, and high-frequency electronic devices. 2. High M echanical S trength Copper-based materials have high hardness and strength and can withstand greater mechan
