Current Carrying Capacity
The Value of IPC-2152
The new standard for current carrying capacity, IPC-2152, is a technology enabler. Through the use of computer modeling and information within IPC-2152 and its appendix, current carrying capacity design guidelines can be optimized for any variation in printed circuit technology. The author, the point person for the research behind the new document, explains the conductor sizing guidelines.
