Thermal Management Metal Heatsink, Aluminum and Metallic Core

Thermal Management Boards: Metallic and Aluminum Core, Metal Heatsink Backing

Thermal Management refers to the use of one or a combination of various materials to transmit heat away from the components or operating area of a PCB to less critical areas, such as a metal heatsink backing, aluminum core, copper or other metallic core, or heavy copper plane layer. The need for thermal management in LED boards is increasing exponentially and while other PCB Manufacturers struggle to keep up with the latest circuit board technologies, Saturn Electronics is continuously improving its PCB manufacturing capabilities

Aluminum and Metallic Core PCB Fabricator

Saturn is one of the 50 largest PCB fabricators in North America, and is regularly studying new materials and methods for both aluminum core PCBs as well as metallic core PCBs in order to help save costs. Many suppliers of this technology have developed this specific niche. As a result, their customers must absorb the supplier’s entire overhead via the piece price. Saturn remains a debt-free PWB Fabricator with a strong focus on PCB prototyping through PCB production of advanced technologies. However, our facility is also constantly processing higher volumes of standard technology PCBs. As a result, our overhead is spread over a larger number or production panels and projects, allowing us to charge a fair and reasonable price to our customers that are often atypical of the high level of technology in the bare boards that we produce.
