You will probably hear something like .7 mils for half ounce, and 1.4 for
one

because it saves a whole bunch of copper for the manufacturer in the long

(and they can control the thickness much more accurately than the tolerance
that they are allowed).

That's what I've heard anyway....
Hmmm, maybe you should take THIS with a  grain of salt, eh? haha

But I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that we have had good success in
our impedance calculations by using .6 for half ounce and 1.2 for one ounce.


onward thru the fog,
Jack

                Hi all,

                I am looking for a table or conversion method that gives

                I am used to copper weight being measured in oz per sq. ft,
but the software
