Double-sided MCPCB

Double-sided metal-core PCB

Double-sided MCPCB with traces on both sides of the core stack, for LED and power paths that need more routing than a single layer.

Other published constructionsSingle layer, COB, multilayer, and SinkPad are separate builds
Primary benefitHeat removal from LEDs and power devices through the metal base

Where this applies

LED and power circuits that need traces on both sides of a metal-core stack.

This is the published double-sided construction, with traces on both sides of the core stack. It is not the multilayer build and it is not a SinkPad build. The fab grid is confirmed from Gerbers.

Questions

How is double-sided different from single-layer?

Single-layer is one trace layer on the metal core. Double-sided puts traces on both sides of the core stack.

Is this the same as SinkPad?

No. SinkPad is listed as its own thermoelectric construction.
