Double-Sided Power PCBs: Fiable, High-Current Boards for Demanding Applications
In an era of high-power electronics, stable and efficient power management is critical. UN circuit imprimé (PCB) optimized for power transmission and conversion is often the cornerstone of system reliability. Our double-sided power PCBs are engineered to meet the stringent challenges of high current, voltage, et gestion thermique.

Présentation du produit: What is a Double-Sided Power PCB?
A double-sided power PCB is a specialized printed circuit board designed to carry and distribute high current and manage substantial power across its two layers. Unlike standard signal PCBs, its core design objectives are low impedance, high current-carrying capacity, and superior thermal performance. We use FR-4 (a flame-retardant glass-reinforced epoxy laminate) as the base material, ensuring every board performs reliably in applications like power converters, entraînements à moteur, and industrial power supplies through stringent process control.

Design Essentials & Principe de fonctionnement
Key Design Considerations:
-
Wide Traces & Cuivre lourd: Power paths (par ex., Vin, Vout, GND) use the widest possible traces with 1oz or thicker copper to minimize resistance, heat generation, and voltage drop.
-
Adequate Via Stitching: Multiple vias in arrays are used to connect the same power net on both layers, significantly reducing parasitic resistance and inductance of the vias and enhancing current capacity.
-
Gestion thermique: Strategic placement of heat-generating components (par ex., MOSFETs, inducteurs) alongside thermal vias et exposed copper pads to efficiently transfer heat to the opposite side or an external heatsink.
-
Safety Spacing: Electrical clearance and creepage distances for high-voltage lines are strictly set according to safety standards (par ex., UL, IEC) to ensure operational safety.
Principe de fonctionnement:
The double-sided power PCB serves as a passive interconnection platform. Its function is to provide optimal electrical and physical connections for active power composants (ICS, transformateurs, condensateurs, inducteurs). Through meticulously designed high-power traces, it ensures energy is transferred from input to conversion circuitry and then to the load with minimal loss and heat generation. Effective thermal path design keeps component junction temperatures within safe limits, enabling reliable Assemblage PCBA and long-term stable operation.
