What is a heavy copper PCB?

Double-sided printed boards are usually made of epoxy glass cloth copper foil. It is mainly used for communication electronics with high performance requirements Equipment, advanced instruments and electronic computers, etc.

The production process of double-sided boards is generally divided into several methods, including process wire method, hole blocking method, masking method, and graphic electroplating etching method.

Heavy copper PCBs are defined as boards with:

● Copper thickness > 2 oz (70 μm)
● Preferred term over “thick” copper PCB

Common heavy copper weights:

● 2 oz (70 μm)
● 3 oz (105 μm)
● 4 oz (140 μm)
● 6 oz (210 μm)
● 8 oz (280 μm)
● 10 oz (350 μm)

Other key attributes:

● Typically compatible with FR-4 dielectric
● Mostly used for inner layers rather than outer layers
● Plated through holes (PTHs) often need to be plugged/filled
● Requires careful registration and lamination

Heavy copper inner layers improve thermal performance and current carrying capacity useful for applications like LED lighting, power electronics, and electric vehicle inverters.
It is a PCB made with two or more conductive copper layers. The conductive foil appears to be thicker than on standard PCBs. The different inner layers are processed in pairs (on a core) and then bonded together using prepreg as the insulating layer. The layers are then placed in such a way that both sides of the PCB can be used to mount components with additional tracking/electrical connections on the inside of the board. Vias are used as a source of the electrical connections between the different layers of the PCB.
More and more products are using heavy copper PCBs, for example EV-chargers, high current systems and power storage systems.
