This guide offers a detailed overview of thermal management in printed circuit boards (PCBs). It starts by identifying key sources of heat, which include active components, high-power currents, high-frequency signals, and environmental factors, emphasizing the importance of effective thermal management to prevent component failures. Readers will learn about various heat dissipation solutions such as optimized layout design, thermal simulations, careful material selection, adjustments to copper thickness, the use of thermal vias, insulated metal substrates (IMS), and advanced copper coin technology. By considering thermal factors early in the PCB design process, you can achieve high-quality, reliable boards.
NCAB Group is a leading global PCB supplier founded in 1993. Today, we have a local presence in 19 countries in Europe, Asia and North America and customers in approximately 45 countries worldwide. We produce PCBs for demanding customers. Our ongoing goal is to help our customers achieve the best possible time to market and competitive advantage by producing printed circuit boards in a sustainable way at the lowest total cost. Our mission is to provide PCBs with zero defects on time. Our vision is simple: To be the number one PCB producer—wherever we are. Although size provides the leverage that is important, being number one doesn’t necessarily mean being the biggest. In our case, number one also means being able to lead the market in terms of expertise, quality of service, sustainability, technology, etc.
