How to Ensure the Assembling of Heavy Copper and High Current PCBs

by Warren C. Electronics Engineer

It is highly essential for the professionals who design and assemble the PCBs to know the information which is readily available for the PCBs developed through higher level of current and copper weight of the PCB. These current boards are based on copper conductors of weight ranging from 3 to 20 ounces of the copper conductors. Quite surprisingly, very fine features are used for the purpose of developing the PCB of increased weight of copper containing at least 10 ounces of total amount of copper.

In developing these PCBs, various approaches of technology are used containing simplest form of PCB containing multilayer huge weight of copper. In the simplest form of such a copper PCB, single-sided as well as double PCB can be used depending upon 3 to 20 ounces of copper thickness to enhance the strength of the board. In multilayer type of PCB, heavy copper is used with four to eight layers of copper and it could be further enhanced to 15 ounces with enhanced layer of copper which is interconnected with such type of highest weight copper.

In the development of heavy copper advanced PCB, multilayer PCB is developed by using the copper layers ranging from 2 to 5 layers of copper at different levels which is interconnected by using the similar layers of the copper.The additional copper level enhances the functionality of the board and extra vias helps in passing more current by keeping the pads well attached. It helps in enhancing the strength of the pad for the purpose of holding the bolt by keeping in place the required cable. A new low cost manufacturing has also been developed which provides necessary assistance to the assembly through the replacement of heavy copper protruding up to twenty mils off the surface. The buried technology used in heavy PCBs can have any amount of copper above the surface or below the surface of the board.

 

When we assemble a higher current level and heavy copper-based board, it could be difficult to develop but not impossible because it needs extra time and efforts. In order to develop such a board, extra care is needed from the engineers to design and develop the board by observing the transfer of heat in the form of thermal transfer.PCBs with heavy copper need to be soldered by using the high enough temperate and soldering it properly for better results. It is highly recommended that the manufacturing of the PCBs by using higher level of temperature lead-free would laminate it properly to help in keeping the pads attached with all the retained heat.

 

PCB manufacturing has become the most important options in China for those who are starter or experienced in the field of manufacturing PCB. People involved in this manufacturing could supply most important features to their customers in foreign countries by adopting an excellent option of selecting preferential shipping agent. PCB manufacturing in China has gained momentum in the recent years due to cost-related issues, because manufacturing PCB in China has lower costs in comparison to other regions of local manufacturers.
