Temperature Rise Vs Trace Width On PCB

This article discusses temperature rise versus trace width on printed circuit boards (PCBs) based on Quick-teck's engineers' experience, CAD simulation results, and test data. It provides experimental diagrams showing the relationship between temperature rise, trace width, current, and copper thickness for 0.5oz, 1.0oz, 2.0oz, and 3.0oz copper. While the information aims to be accurate, Quick-teck takes no responsibility for results from using the data.

Temperature rise Vs trace width on PCB


Terms of using this article
This article is primarily for internal use in Quick-teck. Now we decided to open it up publicly. We try to ensure the information in this are as accurate as possible, but please be aware we dont take any reasonability for anything that results from this article. Youre using this at your own risk.

Background
The design rule from IPC-2221 is widely used to estimate the temperature rise due to an electrical current. There are many online tools based on this rule can be found on internet. In recently years, this historical studies (the graphs in IPC-2221 was firstly published in 1956) has been doubted due to new materials, more trace layers, increasing power consumption, and new network topology on PCBs. Hence further theoretical and experimental investigations (e.g. IPC-2221A, IPC-2152) have been taken in both academic and industry area. Some of valuable investigation results have been taken into account in new version of the online calculator tools. The data in the following diagrams are mainly come from the following four ways: 1. More than 10 years first-hand PCB design experience from Quick-teck engineers. 2. Simulation results from CAD tools. 3. Test result from our every days PCB check records. 4. Results from other online calculator software and formulas.
