Standard for Determining Current Carrying Capacity in Printed Board Design
1 SCOPE
This document is intended as a general guide to understanding the relationship between current, conductor size, and temperature, and can be used more specifically in the design and evaluation of copper conductors in printed boards (PBs).
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on determining the appropriate conductor sizes on the finished PB as a function of the current carrying capacity required and the acceptable conductor temperature rise.
1.2 Presentation
All dimensions and tolerances in this standard are expressed in hard SI (metric) units and parenthetical soft imperial (inch) units. Users of this standard are expected to use metric dimensions.
