Mastering Thermal Issues in LED PCB DesignPosted by freemexy on January 4th, 2021 LED applications are not the only applications that are driving the need for thermal issues to be considered and mastered in PCB design, but they are certainly amongst the most challenging. Designing LED PCBs requires many considerations and key are those that arise from multiple heat sources in close proximity. Martin Cotton, Director OEM Technology of Ventec Europe describes the process and criteria used when designing PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) for use in LED applications using thermally conductive IMS (Insulated Metal Substrates). He goes into technical detail with charts and diagrams that explain everything the designer would need to consider when selecting a laminate and commencing a design.To get more news about Cavity PCB, you can visit pcbmake official website. A focus is on the make-up of these IMS in the form of copper-laminate-aluminum or copper-laminate-copper, considering the various characteristics, benefits and the thermal conductivity and impedance of each option.
