Optimizing PCB Trace Thickness vs. Current Capacity

The relationship between PCB trace thickness and current capacity is a critical aspect of PCB design. Properly sizing traces ensures that they can handle the required current without overheating, which is essential for the reliability and functionality of the circuit. This article explores the key considerations for selecting trace thickness, the impact of copper weight, and methods for calculating current capacity, along with design strategies for high-current applications
