How to improve the gap between the convexity and LED pad?

Saturday, July 11th, 2020

About the SinkPad copper core PCB, all is known that convexity is very important, the height of convexity is about 0.2mm-0.25mm.

We need to know whatâ€™s the reasons caused the gap between the convexity and LED pad is big.

We make the copper core with convexity firstly, then make the circuit/panel board (FR4PCB/BT PCB) and finally do the lamination for cooper core and circuit board.
The tolerance for convexity is +/-0.05mm-0.075mm.
The tolerance for circuit/panel board is +/-0.13mm.

If we do negative tolerance for convexity and positive tolerance for circuit/panel board, then it will cause the gap very big.

See below picture and details.

For example, the size of convexity is 0.5mm, after negative tolerance -0.075mm, it will be 0.425mm and each side will be 0.0375mm smaller.

For the circuit/panel board, the gap between convexity is 0.2mm, after positive tolerance +0.13mm, it will be 0.33mm and each side will be 0.065mm bigger.

So finally, the gap will be 0.2mm+0.0375+0.065mm=0.3025mm.Â It is about 50% bigger than original size.

How to improve that problem?

Making the copper core with convexity according to design.
Measuring the dimension of convexity before making the circuit/panel board, then making the circuit/panel board according to the convexity dimension with compensation design.
Do Positive tolerance for convexity and negative tolerance for circuit/panel board, the gap will be much more smaller.

For example, the size of convexity is 0.5mm, after negative tolerance +0.075mm, it will be 0.575mm and each side will be 0.0375mm bigger

For the circuit/panel board, the gap between convexity is 0.2mm, after positive tolerance -0.13mm, it will be 0.07mm and each side will be 0.065mm smaller.

So finally, the gap will be 0.2mm-0.0375-0.065mm=0.0975mm.Â It is about 50% smaller than original size.

In order to reduce the cost, can SinkPad PCB use aluminum base instead copper base for heat dissipation?

Wednesday, June 24th, 2020

SinkPad PCB is a type of Copper base PCB used in thermoelectric separation application. It generally used for high power LED, the pad of LED touch the copper base directly, so that the heat generated by LED will dissipate quickly, which can achieve the best heat dissipation and conduction.

In another words, it is a technology that require to increase the path of the LED pad to the copper base to accelerate the heat emission from the base material. The copper base is vital while it also cost higher.

Then in order to lower cost, can SinkPad PCB use aluminum base instead copper base for heat dissipation?

The answer is NO. As you can see the below manufacturing steps, the SinkPad will etch the copper base into convex platform with Copper Etching Solution, then hollow out the Double Layer FR4 PCB, and do lamination with the convex platform.

However, regarding of current technical conditions, since aluminum or aluminum alloy cannot directly react with acid, the reaction process is too complex and difficult to control, which will increase the difficulty of etching the LED pad platform. Considering the scrap rate, the process of etching LED pad platform with aluminum is more complex and the overall cost is higher.

SinkPad PCB, also called Heat Sink or DTP (direct thermal path)Â PCB, it is a type of Copper base PCB used in thermoelectricÂ separation application. It generally used for high power LED, the pad of LED touch the copper base directly, so that the heat generated by LED will dissipate quickly, which can achieve the best heat dissipation and conduction.

Thermoelectric separation technology is based on the higher heat dissipation requirements of high power electronic products, which needs to meet two basic conditions:

1.LED pad touches the base substrate directly.

It means we need to increase the path of the LED pad to the base substrate to accelerate the heat emission from the base material.

2.Higher heat dissipation substrate materials

Copper has a thermal conductivity of 401W/mÂ·K, while aluminum has a thermal conductivity of 237W/mÂ·K. Obviously, copper has better thermal conductivity because of its high density, high mass. Therefore, a SinkPad PCB usually means a SinkPad copper base PCB.
