MCPCB-XEG-L280-AL: The Ultimate Aluminium Base PCB for Cree XEG LEDs

Introducing the MCPCB-XEG-L280-AL, a state-of-the-art Printed Circuit Board (PCB) designed specifically for innovators and creators looking to harness the power of Cree XEG LEDs in their projects. This Metal Core PCB, featuring a robust Aluminium base, is the perfect foundation for developing LED modules that demand performance, reliability, and efficiency.

MCPCB-XEG-L280-AL Designed for Excellence

The MCPCB-XEG-L280-AL accommodates 16 Cree XEG LEDs, offering flexibility in configuration with options for 16 in series setup or 2 channels of 8 LEDs. This layout is intentionally designed to ensure even light distribution, making it ideal for a variety of lighting applications.

Unmatched Thermal Performance

Featuring a dielectric layer directly beneath the thermal pad of the LED, this PCB is engineered for superior thermal management. The Aluminium base, certified by UL for its quality and safety, along with optional Direct Thermal Path technology, ensures that heat is efficiently dissipated, keeping the LED’s junction temperature safely below the maximum rating recommended by LED manufacturers.

Cooling Recommendations:

To achieve optimal cooling performance, we advise mounting the module onto a finned heat sink made of aluminium or copper that is exposed to open air. The PCB can be secured using:

• Pressure-sensitive, thermally conductive tape (Recommended)
• Thermal Compound (Requires mechanical fasteners)

Prior to installation, it is crucial to ensure that the surfaces of the module and the heat sink are clean and perfectly flat, maximizing the efficacy of heat transfer.

Electrical Neutrality

The MCPCB-XEG-L280-AL’s bottom surface is electrically neutral, eliminating the need for electrical isolation from the cooling surface. This feature simplifies the mounting process and expands the range of applications.

Optics Compatibility

Designed with versatility in mind, this MCPCB supports the integration of multiple optics types*, enabling users to tailor their lighting solutions to specific requirements and preferences.* some optic holders may require modifications to allow wire access to the PCB, Cutter assumes no responsibility for holder modifications
