AsianSignals bucks the trend in MCPCB (metal clad printed circuit boards) by developing new products in copper clad FR-4 technology. The new LED mounting boards are less expensive, easier to work with and on par or superior in heat sinking performance the their MCPCB counterparts.
Metallic bonding between the LED's thermal pad and a copper board ensures a long lasting dependable bond. Metal core boards relay on glues and bonding agents on two layers to keep their products together. I trust soldered bonds over those mysterious proprietry glues and diaelectric layers these other manufacturers employ.
Most new LED designs feature electrically insultated thermal heatsinks in the base of their packages. Luxeon, Cree, Lamina Lighting, LedEngin, and others produce products that do not need electical insulation when mounted therefore it's counter-productive to encorporate these old materials that are a throw-back towards more primative technology. Copper clad designs are a natural evolution to simpiler, superior, more elegants LED mounting boards.
We didn't invent the concept of mounting LEDs on copper clad boards, but we have extended out the concept with some really common sense features that push those products nicely forward.
Asian Signals is an Asian based American managed design and production facility offering product for the LED lighting market place.
