PCB with coin and dielectric layer
A printed circuit board includes a first, second, and third conductive layer. The printed circuit boards also includes a first non-conductive layer between the first and second conductive layers and a second non-conductive layer between the second and third conductive layers. The printed circuit board further includes a dielectric layer between the second conductive layer and the second non-conductive layer and a coin for heat dispersion located underneath the dielectric layer. The printed circuit board also includes a cavity for receiving a component and a plating within the cavity to connect the coin with the second conductive layer. The plating extends less than 50 um above the second conductive layer.
