Thick Copper PCB
Thick copper PCBs are becoming increasingly popular in the PCB industry, as they offer several advantages over standard PCBs. These heavy copper PCBs have a finished copper weight of more than 4oz (140μm), compared to the 1oz (35μm) or 2oz (0μm) copper weight found in standard PCBs.
Thick copper PCBs are widely used in power electronic devices and power supply systems, as their additional copper thickness allows them to conduct higher currents, achieve better thermal distribution, and implement complex switches in limited space. They also offer increased mechanical strength at connector sites and the ability to create smaller products by incorporating multiple weights on the same layer of circuitry. Additionally, they allow for the use of exotic materials to their maximum capacity with minimal risk of circuit failure.
