PowerLink

PowerLink allows the use of two or more copper weights on the same layer of a printed circuit board. The Heavy Copper and standard copper features can be interconnected, which allows for fine-pitch devices using standard copper traces to be mounted on the same layer with power devices demanding the use of Heavy Copper tracks.

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

The Development of Power Link TechnologyAfter the development of extreme copper technology, UPE recognized a need to connect together two or more PCB land areas having dissimilar copper weights.
