How can I separate PCB antenna and SMA connector?

I am designing a prototype PCB for a Lora node. It will have an SMA connector (J2) and a PCB antenna. Switching RF connectors are not available in my area, so as an amateur enthusiast what is a good way to separate the antennas?

They usually put a 3-pad solder jump.

  1. The central pad is connected to the LORA integrated circuit.
  2. The left pad is connected to your SMA connector.
  3. The right pad is connected to the printed antenna.

What will be the role of a copper layer in a metal core PCB in thermal dissipation?

In the design of a power electronic PCB, I want to use a metal PCB for heat dissipation of a TO-220 package MOSFET. To do that I want to mount metal PCB on the MOSFET with the use of thermal paste and screw exactly like we do when we use heatsink for the same package. Should I leave the copper of PCB between MOSFET surface and dielectric of PCB or remove the copper surface and leave only the dielectric opening?

Waarom de printplaat koud is, maar LED-lampen zijn nog steeds hot?

I have a THERMAL problem when designing a power LED ALUMINUM PCB. I have 10 5W UV power LEDs.Coldwater flows through water heat sink continuously. The problem is the PCB is cold, maar LED-lampen zijn nog steeds hot? Can anyone give me some advice.
