Aluminum balances heat spreading, weight, machining, and price. Copper spreads heat more effectively but is heavier and more expensive. Direct thermal path structures are used when the design needs a shorter route from the heat source to the metal base.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong style=\"color:#0066cc;\">Material choice should answer four practical questions:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Does it move enough heat for the real operating load?<\/li>\n<li>Does the dielectric meet the electrical insulation requirement?<\/li>\n<li>Is the selected thickness compatible with the housing and heat sink?<\/li>\n<li>Can the same material be obtained for the next build?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Provide both the current quantity and expected repeat demand.
