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.”

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
