Designers Council:
I am designing a board which has heavy current devices, required to handle
10A max peak. The board will be constructed using 2 oz. copper.
IPC-D-275 5.3.2.3. states:
"Total cumulative copper web for all layers in any plated through hole
should not exceed .160" for 1 oz. copper, or .080" for for 2 oz. copper.
The total of the thermal relief cross sectional area divided by the number
of planes connected to the plated through hole, shall not violate current
carrying capacity requirements for a given hole.
If the individual web width violates the intended minimum conductor width
it shall be specified on the master drawing."
If I use the web width calculations, or even the .080" max web width for 2
oz copper, it's not going to handle the current without getting really hot.
If I connect the hole directly into the plane, we'll have a difficult time
soldering it.
What is your recommendations and experience with this type of situation?
Thanks in advance for your advice and input.
David Baldwin
