Printed circuit boards having fingers containing more than 3 ounces of copper or more per square foot, in the inner as well as the outer layer are treated as heavy copper PCBs. It is also referred to as heavy-copper and thick-copper PCBs.

Best PCB Manufacturer in China 2020 Printed circuit boards having fingers containing more than 3 ounces of copper or more per square foot, in the inner as well as the outer layer are treated as heavy copper PCBs. It is also referred as heavy-copper and thick-copper PCBs. The combination of metal weight, the right substrate and heavier plating in the through-hole circuit makes this a dependable wiring board and the boards are made using different types of etching and plating methods, so that the thickness of the metal can be increased through the sidewalls and the plated holes.
Heavy-copper PCB A heavy-copper PCB is a major component of all modern day power electronics and heavy- copper printed circuit boards are trending in the PCB industry now. The thick layer of metal helps to control the thermal dissipation and run high power. A leading electronic contract manufacturing outsourced service provider like Great PCB understands the relevance of thermal management and their heavy copper pcb helps to conduct heat away from the components. Since electronic gadgets are operated in very high currents, heavy-copper PCBs minimize the chance of failure to a great extent. Diverse types They manufacture single-sided, double-sided and multilayer heavy-copper PCBs and the fabrication is done on polyimide, FR4, PTFE laminate, copper, aluminium and ceramic based materials. Since they manufacture durable wiring platforms with heavy kind of metal, the heavy copper PCB by GREATPCB SMT LIMITED can withstand a great amount of thermal stress, has better conductivity of current, reduced thermal strain and provide printed circuit boards of smaller size.
Advantages of thick-copper PCBs Thick-copper printed circuit boards have several advantages over regular printed circuit boards. Unlike regular circuit boards, thick-copper PCBs can tolerate repeated contact with excessive current, high temperature and recurring thermal cycling Since it can tolerate high heat, it is suitable for applications which operate under rough conditions The resultant products get a smaller size because a number of metal weights are placed on the same layer of circuits Thick copper-plated PCBs are capable of passing higher current through the printed circuit boards and help to transfer the heat in the outer heat sink The complexities of wired buss configurations can be eliminated High temperature materials can be used optimally with less chances of circuit failure Multiple weights of the metal can be included on the same layer of circuits High current circuits and control circuits can be integrated on a single printed circuit board Increased ability to carry current
Applications Such PCBs are widely used in applications that involve high power usage. It is found in applications like: Power converters Power supplies Electrical power distribution Welding equipment Solar panel devices Aviation Automotive Medical Conclusion The reason behind the high demand of copper-PCB is its excellent thermal management and ability to provide consistent performance. Nowadays circuits are manufactured to pass heavy currents or high heat and heavy-copper PCBs helps to distribute the heat that is produced, so that the circuit can perform at its best.
