17.5 Calculation of Current-Carrying Capacity

Reliable Management of High Currents.

Installation spaces keep getting smaller while currents keep getting larger. It is our mission to continue increasing the capacity of the assembly. With our customized and software-based calculation tool, we can provide you with targeted support that allows you to optimize the current-carrying capacity of your PCB. Together, we will find the right technology for your application while avoiding critical limits. It’s important to ensure that the flow of current from A to B is managed in an optimal way.

We take the following aspects into consideration in our calculations:
  • Temperature conditions
  • PCB technology
  • Layer stackup
  • Number and layout of high-current conductors
The result: a stable and reliable performer.
