Verified PCB & PCBA manufacturingMetal-core boards
MCPCB Manufacturer for Metal-Core and Thermal Boards
VeriPCB supports mcpcb manufacturer requirements for metal-core PCBs with thermal review, dielectric confirmation and assembly matched to the design.
What this service solves
A controlled path from requirements to acceptance
An mcpcb manufacturer deals with heat first. Dielectric layer, copper weight, thermal vias and component placement determine whether a metal-core board performs. We review these before committing material. See the custom PCBA scope or the capability review.
Best fit for
- Power and high-current products
- LED and lighting thermal boards
- Automotive and industrial thermal designs
- Teams needing dielectric confirmation

Build & validation
Manufacture against the approved package and record agreed results.
Risk review
Issues to resolve early
| Risk | Required control |
|---|---|
| Wrong dielectric rating for the heat load | Resolve conflicting inputs in a dated engineering review. |
| Insufficient thermal vias or copper weight | Record approval ownership and release status before purchase. |
| Component too close to hot zones | Define handling, traceability and exception rules in the build package. |
| Stack-up not confirmed before build | Select inspection and test coverage against the actual failure risk. |
| No thermal test or rating agreed | Resolve conflicting inputs in a dated engineering review. |
Buyer questions
Frequently asked questions
What is an MCPCB?
A metal-core PCB uses a metal base layer for heat dissipation, common in LED, power and high-current designs where thermal path matters.
What should an MCPCB quote confirm?
Dielectric rating, copper weight, thermal via strategy, stack-up and finish, matched to your thermal requirement.
Can you assemble metal-core boards?
Yes, where placement, inspection and any thermal or functional test are planned against the design and agreed scope.
How is thermal performance verified?
Only against a defined test condition; we do not state a thermal number without agreed measurement and limits.
What files are needed?
Gerber or ODB++ with stack-up, thermal spec, BOM with exact MPNs, centroid data and assembly drawings.
Will you protect my design?
Customer design files remain the customer's property. An NDA can be requested before confidential files are exchanged.
