1. Aluminum substrate is a metal-based copper-clad plate with excellent heat dissipation capabilities, commonly used in LED lighting products.

2. Typically, a single panel consists of a three-layer structure, including a circuit layer (copper foil), an insulation layer, and a metal substrate.

3. The substrate has two sides – the white side is used for welding LED pins, while the other side is aluminum in color and comes into contact with the thermal conductive part after the application of thermal conductive paste.

4. In addition to aluminum substrates, there are also ceramic substrates and other alternatives available on the market.1. PCB boards generally refers to printed circuit boards, also known as Printed Circuit Boards. They are a provider of electrical connections for electronic components and have a history of over 100 years. The design mainly focuses on layout design, with the main advantage being the reduction of wiring and assembly errors, and the improvement of automation levels and production labor rates.

2. When comparing aluminum substrates and printed circuit boards, there are several technical, process, and usage differences to consider:

3. Technical perspective: Aluminum substrates are made from aluminum-based materials, suitable for high-power electronic devices due to their good thermal conductivity and oxidation resistance. PCB boards are assembled electronically by covering insulating substrate with conductive metal, suitable for small, lightweight, and high-reliability electronic products.

4. Process perspective: Aluminum substrates have a simpler production process, resulting in lower production costs, while PCB boards require complex processes and have higher production costs.

5. Usage perspective: Aluminum substrates are suitable for high-power heating devices, optoelectronic modules, mechanical devices, and automotive electronics, with high reliability and good heat dissipation. PCB boards are suitable for computer peripherals, communication devices, laptops, consumer electronics, with high manufacturing accuracy and high space utilization.

6. Currently, there are single-sided aluminum substrates in the market, with various types of PCB boards available. Aluminum substrates belong to the aluminum alloy board and are commonly used in the LED industry.

7. PCB boards are generally made of copper, which can be single or double-sided. The materials used for aluminum substrates and PCB boards differ, with aluminum substrates mainly made of aluminum and PCB boards mainly made of copper.

8. In terms of heat dissipation, aluminum substrates outperform PCB boards due to their better thermal conductivity. The price of aluminum substrates is relatively expensive compared to PCB boards.

9. In conclusion, aluminum substrates and PCB boards each have unique advantages in different scenarios, and both play important roles in circuit boards.
