What Is LED PCB?
A LED PCB (Light-Emitting Diode Printed Circuit Board) is a specialized board designed to power and control LED arrays. Unlike standard PCBs, these boards prioritize thermal management, high-density layouts, and optical precision to maximize LED performance and lifespan. Custom LED PCBs are engineered to meet specific requirements such as brightness, color temperature, and environmental resilience.
What Are the Materials of LED PCB?
- Aluminum Base-Excellent heat dissipation, cost-effective, best for automotive lighting.
- FR-4-Low cost, standard insulation, best for Consumer electronics.
- Ceramic Base-Ultra-high thermal resistance, best for aerospace systems.
- Flexible Base-Bendable, lightweight design, best for wearables, curved displays.
What Are the Advantages of LED PCB?
- High Reliability-Withstand extreme temperatures (-40°C to 150°C), humidity, and vibrations.
- Superior Thermal Management-Aluminum and ceramic substrates dissipate heat 5-10x faster than FR-4, preventing LED degradation.
- Design Flexibility-Custom shapes, sizes, and LED densities (up to 200 LEDs/sq. inch) for unique applications.
- Energy Efficiency-Optimized circuits reduce power loss by 15-30% compared to traditional wiring.
- Cost-Effective Scaling-Bulk production cuts costs by 40-60% for large orders.
What Are the Application of Custom LED PCB?
Here are main application of custom LED PCB:
- Automotive headlights
- Airport runway landing lights
- Street lighting
- Highway tunnel lighting
- Photovoltaic (solar) lighting
- Flashlights and lanterns
- Traffic and signal lighting
- Lighting in hospital operating rooms
- High growth plant lighting
What Are the Types of Custom LED PCB?
Here are types of custom LED PCB board:
Single-layer PCB:
- Features: Single-sided wiring, lowest cost, suitable for simple circuits.
- Applications: Basic LED signs, small lighting modules.
Double-layer PCB:
- Features: Double-sided wiring + via connection, support for medium-complexity circuits.
- Applications: Smart home lighting, advertising light boxes.
Multi-layer PCB (4 layers and above):
- Features: High-density wiring, integrated heat dissipation layer and signal layer.
- Applications: Industrial-grade LED control systems, automotive smart headlights.
Manufacturing Process of Custom LED PCB Board
- Aluminum substrate cutting: Cut aluminum substrate according to design size (heat dissipation optimization)
- PCB manufacturing: Drilling → Copper deposition → Etching → Surface treatment (Spray tin/immersion gold)
- SMT patch: Fully automatic patch machine solders LED chips, resistors, capacitors and other micro components
- Surface protection: Coating green oil to protect the circuit to prevent oxidation and solder short circuit.
- Surface treatment: Surface spray tin or immersion gold treatment to enhance welding performance and corrosion resistance
- Plug-in welding: Manual/mechanical supplementary installation of large-size plug-ins (such as connectors)
- Functional test: Power on to detect LED brightness, color temperature and circuit stability
- Final inspection and shipment: Appearance inspection + packaging shockproof treatment
