Metal core substrate
View Patent ↗A metal core substrate is provided. A first routing member is comprised of a first area of one sheet of metal core material; a first insulation layer formed on the first area; and a first circuit pattern made of a copper foil and formed on the first insulation layer. A second routing member comprised of: a second area of the one sheet of the metal core material, which is separated from the first area; a second insulation layer formed on the second area; and a second circuit pattern made of a copper foil and formed on the second insulation layer. A connecting member electrically connects the first routing member and the second routing member. The connecting member is comprised of a third area of the one sheet of the metal core material, which is interposed between the first area and the second area.
1. A metal core substrate comprising:
a sheet of metal core material disposed in a power supply box;
a first routing member mounted to the sheet of metal core material, comprised of:
a first area of the sheet of metal core material;
a first insulation layer formed on the first area; and
a first circuit pattern made of a copper foil and formed on the first insulation layer;
a second routing member mounted to the sheet of metal core material, comprised of:
a second area of the sheet of the metal core material, which is separate from the first area;
a second insulation layer formed on the second area; and
a second circuit pattern made of a copper foil and formed on the second insulation layer; and
a connecting member which electrically connects the first routing member and the second routing member, the connecting member comprised of a third area of the sheet of the metal core material, which is interposed between the first area and the second area, wherein the third area is exposed and does not include an insulation layer formed thereon.
2. The metal core substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the third area is bent at a right angle or 180 degrees.
3. The metal core substrate according to claim 2 , wherein the third area is divided into a plurality of parts in a width direction of the metal core material.
4. The metal core substrate according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet of metal core material consists of one sheet layer.
5. A metal core substrate of a power supply box, comprising:
a sheet of metal core material configured to serve a heat radiation plate and a power supply path in the power supply box;
a first routing area which includes a first portion of the metal core material, at least one insulation layer disposed on the first portion, and at least one circuit pattern disposed on the at least one insulation layer;
a second routing area, distinct and separate from the first routing area, which includes a second portion of the metal core material, at least one insulation layer disposed on the second portion, and at least one circuit pattern disposed on the at least one insulation layer of the second portion; and
a connecting portion consisting of a third portion of the metal core material, said third portion interposed between the first portion and the second portion along a longitudinal length of the metal core material, said third portion including a bend, said connecting portion configured to connect the first and second routing portions to each other.
6. The metal core substrate according to claim 5 , wherein the sheet of metal core material consists of one sheet layer.
7. The metal core substrate according to claim 5 , wherein the third portion of the metal core material is exposed without an insulation layer formed thereon.
