Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is the difference between PCB and MCPCB?
Answer: The primary difference lies in the core material. While a standard PCB (Printed Circuit Board) typically uses a substrate like FR4 (Fire Retardant 4), MCPCB (Metal Core Printed Circuit Board) incorporates a metal core, enhancing its thermal conductivity and heat dissipation capabilities.
2. What does MCPCB stand for?
Answer: MCPCB stands for Metal Core Printed Circuit Board.
3. What is MCPCB LED?
Answer: MCPCB LED refers to the use of Metal Core Printed Circuit Boards in LED (Light Emitting Diode) applications. These boards offer efficient thermal management, making them ideal for maintaining optimal performance and longevity in LED lighting systems.
4. What are the different types of MCPCB?
Answer: There are several types of MCPCB based on the metal core material, such as aluminum-based MCPCB and copper-based MCPCB. Each type has specific characteristics, and the choice depends on the application’s requirements.
5. What is the difference between FR4 and MCPCB?
Answer: FR4 is a standard substrate used in PCBs, whereas MCPCB incorporates a metal core. The key distinction is in thermal conductivity and heat dissipation – MCPCBs excel in applications where efficient heat management is crucial.
6. What is the use of MCPCB?
Answer: MCPCBs are used in applications requiring efficient thermal management, such as LED lighting, power electronics, automotive electronics, and renewable energy systems. They prevent overheating, ensuring reliable and stable performance.
7. How thick is the copper in MCPCB?
Answer: The thickness of the copper in an MCPCB varies based on the application’s requirements. It typically ranges from 1 oz to 10 oz, with higher thicknesses providing better conductivity and heat dissipation.
8. What is the dielectric material in MCPCB?
Answer: The dielectric material in an MCPCB is typically a thermally conductive but electrically insulating material, such as a layer of thermally conductive prepreg or insulating material coated on the metal core. This ensures electrical insulation while facilitating efficient heat transfer.
9. How to design MCPCB?
Answer: To design an MCPCB, follow these steps:
- Identify Requirements: Determine the application’s thermal and electrical requirements.

What is a Metal Core PCB (MCPCB)?
A Metal Core Printed Circuit Board (MCPCB), also known as a thermal PCB or metal backed PCB, is a type of PCB that has a metal material as its base for the heat spreader portion of the board. The thick metal (almost always aluminum or copper) is covering 1 side of the PCB. Metal core can be in reference to the metal, being either in the middle somewhere or on the back of the board. The purpose of the core of an MCPCB is to redirect heat away from critical board components and to less crucial areas such as the metal heatsink backing or metallic.
METAL CORE PCB APPLICATIONS
PCBs that require a lot of power usually generate a lot of heat. If your PCBs need fast cooling it is better to use Metal Core PCB than FR4. The following list includes some of the most popular applications that work great with this technology:
