Thick Copper PCB

Thick Copper PCBs

 

Standard printed circuit boards, whether single, double or multilayer, are generally manufactured using 1OZ or 2OZ copper. However, a growing trend in the PCB industry, PCB Copper thickness utilize 3 or more ounces of finished copper in their inner and/or outer layers. Advanced development of telecommunications and electronics industry largely contribute to the rising demands for heavy copper PCBs as they are capable to carry high currents and conduct heat away more efficiently. They can be designed to accommodate the high current requirements of the design and hence a large number of products are taking advantage of the technology. At Sierra Assembly Technology, we offer precision manufactured thick copper PCBs that help meet your performance expectations.
