Sunrise Electronics Offers Special Metal Core Technology
May 9, 2016 | Sunrise ElectronicsEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Jigar Patel, Vice President of Sunrise Electronics has announced that his company is now offering a specialized metal core technology where the metal core product is in direct contact to the aluminum substrate providing a much better performance of the LED product.
“We developed this technology because some of our best customers were asking us for a way to gain better performance of their LED products. Basically this represents the essence of the way we like to do business. Our biggest challenge we faced for this type of build last year when our customer approached us was finding a way to get copper to plate to aluminum. After numerous combinations of surface preparation and treatment we were able to create a good bond from copper plating allowing us to give the LED a direct thermal contact. This coupled with the acquisition of the LENZ drill route we are accurately able to mill out the pocket with precise depth as well,” said Patel. "If a customer needs something, we like to delight them by adding it to our capabilities.”

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
