Heavy copper PCBs, also commonly referred to as thick copper PCBs, are gaining widespread adoption across multiple electronic industries due to their strength, reliability, and performance advantages. These boards contain more than 3 ounces (oz) of copper on the inner or outer layers of the printed circuit board. In industry terms, copper thickness ranging from 4 oz/ft² to 20 oz/ft² is considered heavy copper, while copper weights exceeding 20 oz/ft² and reaching up to 200 oz/ft² are categorized as extreme copper.
Victory PCB manufactures heavy copper PCBs using appropriate substrates combined with thicker copper plating in through-hole circuits. This approach creates a highly reliable wiring platform capable of handling elevated current levels while maintaining mechanical durability. The manufacturing process involves a combination of advanced etching and plating techniques, with a consistent objective of increasing copper thickness along plated holes and sidewalls to ensure long-term performance and stability.
As demand for robust power electronics continues to rise, heavy copper PCBs have become one of the fastest-growing segments within the PCB industry, offering strong development potential and broad application coverage.
Key Benefits of Heavy Copper PCBs
Compared to conventional printed circuit boards, heavy copper PCBs provide several distinct advantages:
- Simple and Strong StructureBy integrating high-current circuits directly into the PCB, designers can achieve higher circuit density while reducing the overall layer count. This results in a structure that is both mechanically strong and relatively uncomplicated.
- Reduced Failure StatesHigh-current and high-power circuits typically generate significant heat. Copper’s excellent thermal conductivity enables heavy copper PCBs to efficiently transfer heat away from temperature-sensitive components, reducing the likelihood of thermal failure.
- Lower Overall Production CostsWhile copper itself is a premium material, replacing traditional copper cables with heavy copper PCBs can lower overall production costs by simplifying system design, reducing assembly complexity, and improving reliability.
Applications of Heavy Copper Circuit Boards
Heavy copper PCBs are commonly used in applications that require high power distribution, effective heat dissipation, and mechanical robustness. Typical applications include:
- Power supplies for radar systems
- Power converters
- Safety and signal systems
- Welding equipment
- Protection relays
- Power line monitors
- Torque controls
- Overload relays
- Automotive industry electronics
- Solar panel manufacturing systems
- Nuclear power applications
These applications rely on heavy copper PCBs for their ability to handle high currents, withstand harsh operating conditions, and deliver consistent performance over extended service lifetimes.
