Key product strengths for LED lighting:
· High thermal conductivity MCPCBs – single-sided aluminum-based boards (e.g., Al1060, Al5052) for road lighting, motor lighting, and floodlights. Thermal management is critical: aluminum substrate thermal conductivity ≥1.5 W/m·K is achievable, meeting the ≥3.0 W/m·K specification for high-power designs.
· Roll to Roll Infinity FPCB – a single-sided flexible circuit with PI base, 0.15 mm overall thickness, 1 oz copper, panel size 1000.00 mm × 124.00 mm, designed for long-length LED strip applications.
· COB FPC – Chip-on-Board flexible PCB with PI material, available in single/double layers, copper options 1/1 oz or 1 oz, OSP finish, panel 366.00 mm × 250.00 mm, suitable for compact LED modules.
· Single/Double Sided FR4/CEM1/CEM3 – flexible material selection from CEM-1 to aluminum, copper thickness 0.5-3 oz, overall thickness 0.6-2.0 mm, with various surface finishes (HASL, ENIG, OSP, etc.) for general lighting, home appliances, and automotive electronics.
WODE’s product portfolio covers applications from indoor lighting (downlights, panel lights, spotlights) to outdoor lighting (street lights, flood lights, high bay lights) and specialty lighting (grow lights, UV curing). The company also produces thermoelectric separated copper-based PCBs and ceramic-based PCBs for niche applications like ultraviolet phototherapy.
