San Francisco CircuitsĀ details its ability to make and assemble heavy copper Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), outlining how increased copper thickness enhances current capacity, thermal conductivity, and mechanical strength in demanding environments. Find out more >>
Heavy copper PCBs are used in high-current, high-reliability applications across industries as electronic systems require higher power and improved thermal performance.
PCBs with copper weights from 4 oz to 10 oz per square foot support higher current flow, improved heat dissipation, and greater structural durability compared to standard designs.
Heavy copper PCBs offer several key advantages. They support high current with minimal voltage drop, provide improved thermal management by reducing heat buildup for better reliability, and deliver enhanced mechanical strength that resists warping and cracking under stress. These PCBs also enable smaller, more efficient design layouts.
Heavy copper PCBs are used in defense, aerospace, industrial power, and automotive systems, delivering the performance required for high-power electronics.
