Copper core PCBs differ from standard circuit boards through their specialized multi-layer structure designed for superior thermal performance. The foundation of every metal core printed circuit board is a solid copper plate that efficiently conducts heat away from critical board components. This metal substrate is covered with a high-performance insulated metal layer that provides electrical isolation while still allowing heat transfer. Copper PCBs are then topped with copper foil where components are mounted.
