American Standard Circuits (ASC) has unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in the field of printed circuit board (PCB) technology with its RF Metal Backed PCBs, promising enhanced thermal management and grounding solutions for industries ranging from telecommunications to aerospace.
ASC's RF Metal-Backed PCBs, also known as Metal Core PCBs (MCPCB), represent a leap forward in design and functionality. These boards, available in single-sided, double-sided, and multilayer configurations, feature metal cladding for improved thermal dissipation and grounding capabilities. Specifically engineered for high-frequency applications, such as RF Power Amplifiers, Splitters, Combiners, Complex Filters, and RF Power Distribution systems, ASC's MCPCBs ensure optimal performance in demanding environments.
ASC's RF Metal-Backed PCBs utilize a combination of pre-bonded and post-bonded materials sourced from industry leaders like Rogers and Taconic. These materials, coupled with ASC's patented sheet film adhesives or sweat soldering techniques, ensure robust bonding and compatibility with a wide range of applications. Whether it's high-frequency telecommunications equipment or aerospace electronics, ASC's MCPCBs deliver exceptional performance and reliability.
Furthermore, ASC offers a comprehensive range of capabilities with its RF Metal Backed PCBs:
- Precision pocket machining for customized designs
- Heat sink technology for efficient thermal dissipation
- Plated through-hole capability for seamless integration
- Conversion options from discrete PCBs to pre-bonded or post-bonded assemblies
In addition to these capabilities, ASC specializes in PCBs made from unique aluminum composite materials designed to match the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of various heat-generating devices. This innovation provides designers with greater flexibility, enabling the use of lightweight materials while meeting stringent environmental requirements.
