Metal Core PCB Manufacturer
Andwin PCB manufactures high-performance metal core PCBs (MCPCBs) using aluminum, copper, and other metal substrates to provide excellent thermal conductivity and mechanical stability.
Our MCPCB solutions are widely used in LED lighting, power supplies, automotive electronics, and high-power applications where efficient heat dissipation is critical.

What Is Metal Core PCB?
A Metal Core PCB (MCPCB) is a printed circuit board that uses a metal substrate instead of traditional FR4 material. The metal layer works as a heat spreading path, allowing heat generated by high-power components to be transferred quickly away from sensitive electronic parts.
Compared with conventional PCBs, MCPCBs provide better thermal performance, improved reliability, and longer component lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Metal Core PCB and FR4 PCB?
Metal Core PCB uses a metal substrate for heat dissipation, while FR4 PCB uses fiberglass epoxy material. MCPCB provides much better thermal performance for high-power applications.
What materials are used for Metal Core PCB?
The most common materials are aluminum, copper, and steel alloy. Aluminum is widely used because it provides a good balance between thermal performance and cost.
Is aluminum PCB the same as Metal Core PCB?
Aluminum PCB is one type of Metal Core PCB. MCPCB includes aluminum PCB, copper core PCB, and other metal substrate PCB solutions.
