Heavy Copper PCB
Heavy Copper PCB refers to a type of printed circuit board (PCB) that has a thicker copper layer compared to standard PCBs. In general, heavy copper PCBs have copper thicknesses of more than 3 ounces per square foot (oz/ft²), which is about 105 µm, and can go up to 20 oz/ft² or more.
These thicker copper layers can handle higher currents, increase the board’s ability to dissipate heat, and improve the mechanical strength of the PCB. Heavy copper PCBs are often used in high-power applications such as power electronics, power supplies, and automotive applications.
Designing and manufacturing heavy copper PCBs require special attention, as they can be more challenging to manufacture compared to standard PCBs due to the increased copper thickness. Therefore, it is essential to work with experienced PCB manufacturers who have the necessary expertise and equipment to produce heavy copper PCBs reliably and efficiently.
