Metal Core PCB (MCPCB) LEDs For High Power Demanding Applications

Luminus Devices’ Far-Red 3535 series copper core-board (MCPCB) LEDs are based on vertical chip LED technology high power density and uniform emission suitable for industrial and medical applications. It features the far-red wavelength of 735 nm and deliver radiometric power from 4.6 W to 8 W. The CBM-120-FR-C15-RA100 is the Luminus Mosaic Array Series Far Red Chip-on-Board LEDs. It uses the Big Chip Package technology that features very low thermal resistance to enable high power output. The Big Chip LED modules are mounted on a copper-clad core-board as shown below.

The LED chip die is mounted directly on a highly conductive copper submount. As a result, the overall thermal resistance to the LED junction is significantly reduced to only 0.64 °C/W in maintaining a much lower junction temperature.

The CBM-120-FR-C15-RA100 Big Chip LED module consists of LEDs with a big emitting area of 12 x 1mm2, an on-board NTC thermistor made by Murata, connectors, and a square copper-core PCB. With the NTC thermistor, external readout circuit can monitor the LED’s junction temperature. To facilitate accurate temperature calculations, the thermal resistance of the LED junction to the NTC thermistor has been characterized. The Murata thermistor used by CBM/CBT Series Big Chip LEDs is NCP18XH103J03RB, which has detailed specifications from Murata as reference for calculating the thermistor’s temperature. The following characteristics of Temperature vs. Resistances of the NTC thermistor can be used for temperature estimation.
