MCPCB-2016-R50-Alu 50mm Round

Description

This MCPCB-2016-R50-Alu 50mm Round printed circuit board with Aluminium base has been developed for the Cree 2016 Midpower range of leds and allows you to quickly create your prototypes of LED modules based on Cree LEDs. With it’s high thermal conductivity of 2 W/mK , this printed circuit board is able to drain the heat of the LED components through the Aluminium base, which is ideal for LED lighting.

The MCPCB-2016-R50-Alu 50mm Round is designed to take 32 Cree 2016 LEDs.

Thermal Path 

Has a dielectric under the thermal pad of LED

The MCPCB-2016-R50-Alu 50mm Round module requires careful attention to mounting and cooling to ensure that the junction temperature of the LED is kept well below the maximum rating as specified in the LED documentation published by Led Manufacturers

For optimal cooling, we recommend that the module be mounted to a suitable finned heat sink (aluminium or copper) that is exposed to open air. The module can be mounted to a heat sink in various ways

• Thermal Compound: Requires the use of mechanical fasteners

Before fastening the module to the heat sink, ensure that the two mating surfaces are perfectly flat and clean in order to maximise heat transfer to the the sink.

The bottom of the LED MCPCB is electrically neutral, so it is not necessary to electrically isolate the base from the cooling surface.

Please note the use of Thermal Adhesives makes the PCB unlikely to be removed for servicing. Please consider this if removal of the board is desired as another TIM may be a better choice. 

Optics Support

The board can be used with various Optics but is likely best used with a conical reflector or large side emitting optic
