Features
Heavy Copper
Thick copper layers for superior current handling and heat dissipation.
Heavy Copper Details
Heavy copper PCBs feature significantly thicker copper layers than standard boards. This technology enhances current-carrying capacity and improves heat dissipation, making it ideal for high-power applications.
The manufacturing process requires meticulous control to ensure even copper distribution while maintaining the board’s structural integrity. Heavy copper PCBs are widely used in power electronics, industrial systems, and high-current circuits.
Key benefits of heavy copper include:
- Superior current handling with reduced electrical resistance.
- Enhanced heat dissipation to prevent overheating.
- Robust design suitable for demanding applications.
The integration of heavy copper technology significantly improves the efficiency and reliability of electronic systems operating under extreme conditions.
