Aluminum PCB Manufacturer Selection: The Mechanical Interface Nobody Declares
An aluminum PCB only works once it is bolted flat against a heatsink. Mounting holes, edge profile, backside flatness and the backside finish decide whether it ever gets there — and none of them are in your RFQ. Here is who declares each one and how to inspect it on arrival.
