thick copper pcb

Thick copper pcb is not a new innovation, as it has been used for a long time in PCBs that can withstand the exacting requirements of military and defense applications, such as in weapons controls. Mainstream electronics makers increasingly require ways to transfer heat away from components, and Thick copper pcb is becoming more prevalent in an growing number of non-military uses.

Thick copper pcb boards are fabricated using plating and etching techniques. The goal is to add copper thickness to via sidewalls and plated holes. Plated holes can weaken if a board is subjected to multiple cycles while in production, and the addition of thick copper can strengthen these holes. Thick copper pcb boards structured with thick copper will allow for high current/power and control circuits on one Thick copper pcb board.
