Thermal part


Circuit substrate


Fiberglass board

advantage:

Low cost and easy to make

No need to consider insulation properties


Disadvantages:

Not suitable for LED design with heat sink and electrode

Need to fill the hole with tin, increase the process

Thick copper foil layer is needed to increase heat transfer efficiency



Aluminum plate

advantage:

Generally accepted

Harder than FR4, better thermal conductivity with heat sink

Electrical insulation is higher than fiberglass board


Disadvantages:

The price is higher than FR4

Less able to place other electronic components on the substrate

The thermal conductivity of the insulation layer is difficult to grasp



Copper substrate

advantage:

Thermal conductivity is much higher than aluminum substrate

Low specific heat value, easier to pull up the conduction temperature

Same advantages as aluminum substrates


Disadvantages:

High cost, general design is not applicable

Has the same disadvantages as aluminum substrates



Common gold plate


advantage:

The conduction center is unobstructed and the thermal conductivity is good.

Substrate application for high power polycrystalline LEDs


Disadvantages:

Not suitable for heat sink with electrode LED application cost is too high

Not applicable to 1~5W power applications

High mold opening cost



Composite board

advantage:

The highest thermal conductivity, up to 500W/mK

High heat rejection, no heat left on the body


Disadvantages:

Production is difficult, and the processing procedure is difficult

Poor material stability, doubts about long-term use

The cost is too high, it is difficult to commercialize mass production



Joint filler



Thermal paste


advantage:

Low cost and easy to use

No specific processing


Disadvantages:

Not easy to apply evenly, easy to form bubbles

Long-term stability of the product, easy to cure, and curing

Thermal barrier

It is easy to cause pollution to other parts during processing, increasing costs


Silicone pad


advantage:

Long temperature resistance, temperature resistance

125~200°C

The higher the temperature, the better the thermal conductivity

Flexible, not easy to form bubbles


Disadvantages:

High cost and increased product cost

Higher thickness, generally above 0.3mm

Thermal phase change silicone pad


Thermal phase change silicone pad


advantage:

Product advantage with general silicone pad

At high temperatures, the silicone will soften to increase the caulking effect.

Increase thermal conductivity


Disadvantages:

Not easy to post-process, and can not be used twice

Higher cost and increased product cost



Housing material



Aluminum-extruded (pull-up)


advantage:

High thermal conductivity and fast heat transfer

Low mold cost and length can be cut freely

Easy to process


Disadvantages:

Hardness / steel is insufficient

The appearance is relatively unchanged, and the aesthetic design is not easy

Fins dissipate heat, which is more likely to cause dust accumulation


Aluminum - die casting


advantage:

Appearance can be arbitrarily changed to beautify the appearance

Can be mass produced quickly


Disadvantages:

High mold design and development costs

Long development time, not easy to modify the design


Thermal plastic


advantage:

High insulation performance

Light weight

Easy mass production


Disadvantages:

Need to develop molding molds, high cost and long time

Poor thermal conductivity, high thermal resistance of the whole lamp system, unfavorable LED life


Plastic aluminum composite


advantage:

Can reduce the thermal resistance of the system relatively, increase the life of the LED light source, and not reduce the insulation


Disadvantages:

Complex production process, increasing production costs

Increase product weight


Heat sink


Shell design


The fin design increases the effective heat dissipation area;

Note the ratio of fin height to fin spacing;

Note the ratio of fin height to fin thickness;

Note that the width of the base and end of the fins need to be different.


Surface design


The surface can be roughened to increase the surface area;

The side fins of the columnar body can be increased to increase the effective surface area.


Surface material


Optional anodizing treatment, pay attention to its applicable temperature;

Optional high heat exchange efficiency material spraying;


Avoid mirror finishes.
