Frequently Asked Questions

What makes metal-clad PCBs suitable for RF and microwave circuits?

Metal-clad PCBs use thermally conductive metal substrates — typically copper or aluminum — that efficiently dissipate heat generated in high-power RF and microwave circuits. They also provide excellent dimensional stability, reduced warpage, and superior electromagnetic shielding compared to standard FR4 boards, making them ideal for radar, wireless, and microwave systems.
