description abstractThis 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).
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.
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.
Interpretation ‘‘Shall,‘‘ the imperative form of the verb, is used throughout this standard whenever a requirement is intended to express a provision that is mandatory. Deviation from a ‘‘shall‘‘ requirement may be considered if sufficient data is supplied to justify the exception.
The words ‘‘should'' and ‘‘may'' are used whenever it is necessary to express non-mandatory provisions.
‘‘Will'' is used to express a declaration of purpose.
To assist the reader, the word ‘‘shall‘‘ is presented in bold characters.
Definition of Terms The definition of all terms used herein shall be in accordance with IPC-T-50 and as defined in 1.4.1 through 1.4.13.
Ambient The surrounding environment coming into contact with the system or component in question.
Base Material The insulating material upon which a conductive pattern may be formed (The base material may be rigid or flexible or both. It may be a dielectric or insulated metal sheet).
Circuitry Layer A layer of PB containing conductors, including ground and voltage planes.
Conductive Pattern The configuration or design of the conductive material on a base material. (This includes conductors, lands, vias, planes, and passive components when these are an integral part of the PB manufacturing process.)
Conductor Spacing The observable distance between adjacent edges (not center-to-center spacing) of isolated conductive patterns in a conductor layer.
Conductor Thickness Thickness of a conductor including additional metallic coatings but excluding non-conductive coatings.
Conductor Width The observable width of a conductor at any point chosen at random on a PB as viewed from directly above unless otherwise specified.
Convection Heat transfer that occurs at the interface of a solid and a fluid or gas that is due to their differences in temperature.
Copper Weight The mass of copper per unit area for a foil, typically expressed in ounces per square foot or grams per square centimeter (these units are not equivalent).
Current-Carrying Capacity The maximum electrical current that can be carried continuously by a conductor, without causing an objectionable degradation of electrical or mechanical properties of the product.
Heat Sink Plane A continuous sheet of metal on or in a PB that functions to dissipate heat away from heat generating components.
Thermal Conductivity The property of a material that describes the rate at which heat will be conducted through a unit area of the material for a given driving force.
Thermal Resistance The resistance of a material to the passage of thermal energy, usually measured in degrees °C/W.
