Need some metal clad.
Need some metal clad.
(OP)
I'm working with LEDs and am wondering if this "metal clad" PCB material is some available material, or something esoteric.
Anybody ever use this stuff?
What's it called?
Sources?

I believe one brand name is Aluma-Core, or something like that.

I'm still not clear on the aspects of production. If you have some metal clad board how do you get trace areas etched out of it. Especially if it is "10oz" aluminum. I doubt the standard copper etching systems would do that. Meaning = $$$$$.

Ozark is a board house that specializes in heavy copper and thermal management. In fact I have a few sample boards from them laid out for several Luxeon LEDs. I think they use Bergquist materials, maybe others.

Man.. Reminds me of my out-of-college job hunt. I was invited to Lawrence Livermore Labs to interview. I brought a resume. On it, I spelled 'vacuum' wrong. The first guy I gave it to looked at my resume then circled the misspelled word in red felt pen. I was forced to walk around interviewing in all these various departments with this resume marked "wrong". Needless to say I got no offer. But I certainly learned from that.
jimkirk; Big thanks for that tip. I will certainly go for a spin there.
