Metal Core Printed

Circuit Boards (MCPCBs)

At Excello Circuits, our mission is to provide unparalleled service, excellence, and overall satisfaction to our customers. We pride ourselves on manufacturing top-tier PCBs that not only meet but exceed customer expectations, ensuring high performance and reliability in every product.

A Metal Core Printed Circuit Board (MCPCB), also referred to as a thermal PCB or metal-backed PCB, is a specialized type of PCB that incorporates a metal base material for enhanced heat dissipation. Typically made from aluminum or copper, the metal core is positioned either on one side of the PCB or within the board's layers.

The primary function of the MCPCB core is to efficiently transfer heat away from critical components to less sensitive areas, such as the metal heatsink backing or the metallic core itself. This design offers a superior thermal management solution compared to traditional FR4 or CEM3 boards, ensuring improved performance and longevity of electronic components, making them ideal for various demanding industries like automotive, telecommunications, consumer and more.
