LEDs or Light Emitting Diodes are now widely used across various industries for lighting. These solid-state lighting devices convert electricity into light with over 80% efficiency. At Xekera Systems, we offer LED PCBs designed expressly for mounting LEDs, providing physical support while effectively transferring heat away from LED components.
Although LEDs are highly efficient in converting electricity to light, they generate some heat when operating at high power. Unless this heat is removed quickly, it may cause thermal runaway, thereby destroying the LED.
The metal core in LED PCBs helps to distribute heat very quickly. LED applications prefer metal core LED PCBs (MCPCBs) as the metal core has a higher ability to dissipate heat from the LEDs, keeping them operating within their specified temperature range.
Aluminum is abundantly available and easier to mine and refine, making it a cost-effective alternative to other heat transfer methods.
Aluminum is non-toxic, recyclable, and safer to dispose of at the end of the LED PCB's life, reducing the carbon footprint.
Aluminum backing makes PCBs more resistant to damage during manufacturing, assembly, and use in harsh environments.
Lighter than copper and stainless steel alternatives, making LED boards ideal for vehicles and aerospace applications.
Offers great insulation and flexibility through a combination of ceramic fillers and Polyimide resins, providing high thermal conductivity with excellent flexibility.
Merges aluminum with non-thermal materials like FR4, offering high thermal conductivity along with high rigidity.
Excellent for highly complex PCBs, offering high thermal conductivity, outstanding insulation, and good mechanical strength with thermally conductive adhesives.
The aluminum alloy sheet serves as the foundation, distributing and dispersing heat efficiently throughout the PCB.
A ceramic polymer layer protects the board from thermal and mechanical damage while absorbing heat from LEDs and transferring it to the base layer.
Copper circuits are laid out according to the LED PCB design, providing electrical connectivity for all components.
Surface mount device LEDs are mounted along with other SMT components using standard processes:
Chip-on-board LEDs are directly bonded to the PCB using one of two processes:
