Metal Core PCB Manufacturer in India | OM Electronics

What is Metal Core PCB?

A Metal Core PCB (MCPCB) is a type of PCB designed for efficient thermal management. It uses a metal substrate like aluminum or copper instead of traditional fiberglass for better heat dissipation. These are ideal for applications in high-power LEDs, automotive, and power electronics

As a dedicated Metal Core PCB (MCPCB) manufacturer in India, OM Electronics produces aluminum-core and copper-core boards that deliver 5–10× better thermal dissipation than standard FR4 substrates. Our MCPCBs meet IPC-2221 and IPC-6012 standards and are engineered for high-power LED luminaires, automotive lighting modules, SMPS power supplies, and industrial motor drivers. Manufactured at our Mohali, Punjab facility with HASL or ENIG surface treatment, 1oz–3oz copper weights, and RoHS-compliant dielectric insulation layers. For cost-optimized LED applications, compare with our aluminum PCBs. Use our PCB design services for custom MCPCB stackup design, or proceed directly to PCB fabrication.

Frequently Asked Questions — Metal Core PCB

Common questions about MCPCB manufacturing at OM Electronics, serving Mohali, Chandigarh, and all of North India.

The terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a distinction. An Aluminum PCB specifically uses an aluminum base, while a Metal Core PCB (MCPCB) is a broader category that includes boards with aluminum, copper, or even steel cores. Copper-core MCPCBs offer superior thermal conductivity (up to 400 W/m·K vs 200 W/m·K for aluminum) but are more expensive. OM Electronics manufactures both aluminum-core and copper-core variants depending on your thermal requirements and budget.

MCPCBs are primarily used in applications where heat dissipation is critical. The top industries include: LED lighting (high-power LED luminaires, streetlights, grow lights), automotive (ADAS sensors, headlights, EV battery management), power electronics (SMPS, inverters, motor drives), and industrial equipment (welding machines, servo drives, UPS systems). OM Electronics has extensive experience supplying MCPCBs to manufacturers across Punjab, Haryana, and North India.

We offer copper weights of 1 oz (35 µm), 2 oz (70 µm), and 3 oz (105 µm) for Metal Core PCBs. Heavier copper weights are recommended for high-current carrying traces in power electronics applications. For LED applications, 1 oz copper is typically sufficient. Our team can advise on the optimal copper weight based on your current requirements and design specifications.

Yes. While single-layer MCPCBs are the most common, OM Electronics also manufactures double-layer Metal Core PCBs with copper traces on both sides of the dielectric, connected through vias. Double-layer MCPCBs are used where higher component density is needed while still requiring superior thermal performance — typically in compact power supplies and advanced LED driver circuits.
