RF Metal Backed
ASC manufactures exceptional RF metal core PCBs (MCPCB). We produceSingle-sided, Double-sided and Multilayer circuit boards with metal cladding/MCPCB for improved thermal management and grounding. We manufacture high frequency PCBs with metal heatsinks for the telecommunication and aerospace industries. The heat sinks and PCBs are typically connected thermally and electrically. Our RF metal core PCBs have metal heat sinks that help with thermal dissipation and grounding of circuits.
Our RF metal core PCBs (MCPCB) here at ASC use commercially available pre-bonded and post-bonded materials for our multi-layer, single, and double sided boards. Pre-bonded laminates are typically supplied by Rogers or Taconic. Post-bonding is done via commercially available sheet film adhesive materials, ASC’s metal core PCBs use patented sheet film adhesives or sweat solder. Some of the applications are RF Power Amplifiers, Splitters & Combiners, Complex Filters and RF Power Distribution. Some of the suppliers of laminate / dielectric materials we utilize are: Isola, Nelco, Rogers & Taconic. Metals include Aluminum, Copper, and Brass Composites. If you are looking for multi-layer, single, and/or double sided RF metal core PCBs, look no further than ASC!

American Standard Circuits makes PCBs with unique aluminum composite materials to match the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for various heat generating devices. These materials can match the CTE of ceramics, transistor packages and PCBs. This gives greater flexibility in designs to use lightweight materials and meet challenging environmental requirements.
