PCB Trace Current Capacity: Width, Copper Weight, and IPC-2221

PCB Trace Current Capacity: Width, Copper Weight, and IPC-2221

Figure 1. PCB trace current capacity depends on copper weight, trace width, layer position, and acceptable temperature rise.Every copper trace is a thin resistor that warms up when current flows through it. Size it right and a board runs cool for years; size it short...

PCB Copper Plating: Process, Thickness, Quality Control

Figure 1. PCB copper plating process for hole-wall and outer-layer copper control. Copper plating is the electrochemical process that deposits copper onto a printed circuit board to form conductive traces, fill the walls of drilled holes, and build up copper thickness...
