Thick Copper PCB

Characteristics of Thick Copper PCB

Thick Copper PCBs are designed for high-power and high-current applications, featuring copper layers ranging from 3oz to 200oz. Their key characteristics include:

  1. High Current-Carrying Capacity – Supports large current flow with minimal resistance and heat buildup.
  2. Superior Heat Dissipation – Effectively manages high temperatures, reducing thermal stress on components.
  3. Enhanced Mechanical Strength – Reinforced board structure improves durability and reliability.
  4. Improved Reliability – It withstands thermal cycling and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term performance.
  5. Versatility – Suitable for power electronics, automotive, renewable energy, and industrial applications.

Thick Copper PCB Manufacturing Process

Thick Copper PCBs feature enhanced current-carrying capacity, superior heat dissipation, and increased mechanical strength, making them ideal for power electronics and high-current applications. These PCBs, typically with copper thickness ranging from 2 oz to 10 oz or more, ensure reliable performance in demanding environments. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as high-temperature lamination and precision etching, are employed to maintain accuracy and durability.
