What is Thick Copper PCB?
Thick copper PCBs are characterized by structures with copper thicknesses from 105 to 400 μm. These PCBs are used for large (high) current outputs and for optimization of the thermal management. The thick copper allows large PCB-cross-sections for high current loads and encourages heat dissipation. The most common designs are multilayer or double-sided. With this PCB technology it is also possible to combine fine layout structures on the outer layers and thick copper layers in the inner layers. Performance of Thick Copper PCB: Thick copper PCB has the best elongation performance and is not limited by the processing temperature. It can be used in hot melt welding methods such as oxygen blowing at a high melting point and not brittle at low temperatures. Even in extremely corrosive atmospheric environments, copper PCB forms a strong, non-toxic passivation protective layer. Advantages of Thick Copper PCB: Thick copper PCB is widely used in various household appliances, high-t...
