Printed Circuit Boards For High Power
Engineers and designers working with power electronics are benefiting from the growing trend for Heavy and Extreme Heavy Copper PCBs.
Heavy Copper: 5 oz, 175µm, 0.175mm and above
Extreme Heavy Copper: 15 oz, 525µm, 0.525mm and above
These PCBs are becoming increasingly necessary as more industrial applications call for more robust circuitry for high power. At GSPK we manufacture Extreme Heavy Copper PCBs that will take over 1500 Amps.
Heavy Copper and Extreme Heavy Copper PCBs offer benefits such as:
Type | Thickness (mm) | Copper Weight (oz) |
---|---|---|
Standard Copper | 0.018 - 0.14 | ½ - 4 |
Heavy Copper | 0.175 - 0.525 | 5 - 15 |
Extreme Heavy Copper | 0.525 - 2.45 | 15 - 70 |
Mixed Copper Weights | 1 ½ oz and 30 oz on the same layer (Double Sided) |
Applications For Heavy Copper | |
---|---|
Bus bars - Lower Copper Weight - Lower Cost | Solar Panel Manufactures |
Power Controllers | High Power Distribution |
Inverters | Motor Stators |
Amplification Systems | Planar Transformers |
Panel Considerations For Heavy Copper | Minimum production is 1 panel | |
---|---|---|
Gross | Net (usable) | |
Manufacturing Panel Size | 457mm x 610mm | 417mm x 570mm |
Each circuit to have 3mm border for routing |
