Heavy Copper PCBs

UPE regards Heavy Copper PCBs as any board design containing tracks or features of 4oz./square foot (.0056 in./0.142mm) to 19oz./sq. foot (0.0226 in./0.675mm). Heavy Copper PCBs provide engineers with the ability to scale up existing PCB-based designs to higher power levels while integrating signal, sense and power components on the board.

Attributes

Custom SolutionSelect the copper weights, layer count and type of connection to fit your application specifications.

IntegrationPowerLink technology enables power and control circuits, both heavy copper and standard copper, to reside on the same layer with interconnection between the circuits

Mechanically RobustOur PCBs are capable of handling high-torque connections.

Case Studies & Testimonials
