Alumina 96% (Al2O3) is one of the most popular ceramic substrates because of its excellent heat resistance, high mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and small dielectric loss. The surface of>the alumina substrate is quite smooth and has a low porosity. Alumina 96% substrates are suitable for thick film applications like hybrid PCB and component substrates or it can be used in direct plated copper sputtering. Thanks to its adequate thermal conductivity, it can also be used as a heat spreader at the back of a PCB. It is also suitable for usage in high power and high-frequency applications because of dielectric properties.
Our OCTO brand blank alumina substrates are available in various sizes and thicknesses. Thanks to a large and live inventory, we can ship your part fast for you to start your project. Need higher quantities, contact us here.
