Overview

Boards built on an aluminium base -- 5052 or 6061 alloy -- with a thin, thermally conductive dielectric under the circuit layer, so heat from components spreads straight into the metal.

Why it matters

Aluminium is light, cost-effective and conducts heat far better than FR-4, which makes it the usual choice for LED lighting and power circuits where keeping components cool sets lifetime and reliability.

Typical Applications

  • LED lighting and displays
  • Power supplies and converters
  • Automotive lighting
  • Motor drives and controllers

Manufacturing Considerations

  • Dielectric thermal conductivity and thickness set how well heat reaches the base
  • Most designs are single-sided, with multilayer builds for denser circuits
  • Hole sizes and spacing follow metal-base rules, not standard FR-4 rules
