Heavy Copper PCBs, also known as extreme copper PCBs, are specialized printed circuit boards designed to handle significantly higher current loads than standard boards. While typical PCBs utilize copper thicknesses between 0.5 to 2 ounces (17.5 to 70um), Heavy Copper PCBs exceed this threshold to provide the robust conductivity required for power-intensive applications. Constructed primarily from high-grade FR4 or Polyimide for flexible variants, these boards are the backbone of modern high-power electronic systems.
Engineered for durability and efficiency, our Heavy Copper PCB solutions are essential for managing extreme thermal demands and high-current transmission. By utilizing advanced copper foil lamination and high-precision etching technologies, we ensure that every board maintains structural integrity without warping, delivering unparalleled reliability for mission-critical power converters and industrial energy systems.

A Heavy Copper PCB is defined as a printed circuit board where the finished copper foil thickness on the circuit layer exceeds 2 ounces (approximately 70um). These are designed specifically for high-current applications.
Yes, while most are made from FR4, they can also be manufactured using Polyimide substrates, which creates what is known as a Heavy Copper Flex PCB.
The increased mass of the copper layer acts as a more effective heat sink, allowing thermal energy to be spread across a larger area and dissipated more quickly, reducing hotspots.
They are widely used in high-power supplies, industrial control equipment, New Energy Vehicle (NEV) motor controllers, and battery management systems.
The main challenges include preventing board warping during lamination and achieving high-precision circuit etching through the thicker copper layers.
Immersion Gold (ENIG) is highly recommended as it provides an excellent flat surface for soldering and protects the thick copper from oxidation.
