Heavy Copper PCB Manufacturing

By plating or laminating copper to 4–20 oz (140–700 µm), we deliver current-carrying capability of 100–300 A per trace, thermal resistance ≤ 0.15 °C/W, and excellent shock resistance—ideal for high-current, high-power applications.
  • Impedance control: ±15%
  • Maximum number of layers: 1L
  • Max panel size: 630×1500 mm

Pros & Cons of Heavy Copper PCB

Pros

  • High Current — 4-20 oz (140-700 µm), single trace 100-300 A, replaces wiring harness
  • Superior Heat Dissipation — vertical thermal conductivity ↑5×, junction temp ↓15-20 ℃
  • Mechanical Strength — anti-vibration 10 g, -55~125 ℃ 1000×, AEC-Q100 certified
  • Space Saving — high-current zones without wider traces, in-board power distribution, system height ↓30 %
  • Cost Effective — bulk wave-soldering, low single-point cost, easy maintenance

Cons

  • Cost↑ — each +2 oz copper, machining cost ↑15 %, plating time ↑3×
  • Machining Difficulty↑ — 4 oz+ needs pulse plating, lamination steps, ±5 µm precision
  • Thermal Stress — multiple laminations, Tg≥170 ℃, thick-copper zone needs pre-filled resin
  • Weight↑ — copper density 8.9 g/cm³, system weight ↑20-50 %
  • Short Storage — thick-copper zone OSP ≤6 mo, ImAg ≤12 mo, needs vacuum-bag storage

How thick is a heavy copper PCB?

Heavy copper PCB thickness = 4 oz to 20 oz (140 µm to 700 µm)

  • 4 oz = 140 µm
  • 10 oz = 350 µm
  • 20 oz = 700 µm

Extreme thicknesses can exceed 20 oz (70 oz), but processing difficulty and cost increase when thicknesses exceed 20 oz.
