HighPCB: Perfect Aluminum PCB Fabrication with IPC Standards and Classes
Aluminum PCBs, also known as metal core PCBs, offer exceptional thermal management capabilities and are widely used in high-power applications. At HighPCB, we specialize in aluminum PCB fabrication, ensuring perfect results while adhering to IPC (Association Connecting Electronics Industries) standards and classes in PCB fabrication.
IPC Standards in Aluminum PCB Fabrication:
- IPC-6012: IPC-6012 is a widely recognized standard that defines the qualification and performance requirements for rigid PCBs. HighPCB follows IPC-6012 standards to ensure the highest level of quality, reliability, and consistency in aluminum PCB fabrication.
- IPC-A-600: IPC-A-600 provides guidelines for the acceptability of printed circuit board finishes, hole quality, conductor width, spacing, and other critical features. HighPCB adheres to IPC-A-600 standards to ensure that your aluminum PCBs meet the specified design requirements and industry best practices.
- IPC-4101: IPC-4101 is a standard that defines the performance specifications for laminate materials used in the fabrication of printed circuit boards. HighPCB selects aluminum-backed laminates that comply with IPC-4101 standards, ensuring excellent thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and electrical performance.
IPC Classes in Aluminum PCB Fabrication:
IPC classes classify PCBs based on their performance and reliability requirements. HighPCB offers aluminum PCB fabrication services for the following IPC classes:
- Class 1: Class 1 represents general-purpose PCBs where functional requirements are less critical. These PCBs are typically used in applications with low-cost considerations and where long-term reliability is not a primary concern.
- Class 2: Class 2 represents dedicated service electronic products that require extended life and continuous performance. These PCBs are used in applications where high reliability and extended service life are essential, such as consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications.
- Class 3: Class 3 represents high-performance electronic products with the most stringent reliability requirements. These PCBs are used in critical applications such as aerospace, medical, and military, where failure is not an option. HighPCB ensures that aluminum PCBs fabricated for Class 3 applications meet the highest quality and reliability standards.
