​Teledyne Labtech is at the forefront of complex metal-cored PCB design and manufacture, supporting in the process of dissipating heat. ​​​​​

Metal-Cored PCBs offer several key advantages. They excel in thermal management, thanks to their superior thermal conductivity and heat dissipation capabilities, making them ideal for applications with high-power components. Their mechanical strength and durability make them resistant to stress and vibration, ensuring long-term reliability. 

Despite their enhanced performance, Metal-Cored PCBs are thinner and lighter than traditional boards, beneficial in space-constrained applications. They also naturally shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and have a higher current-carrying capacity. Improved solderability simplifies assembly, and their customisability allows tailoring for specific requirements.
