Heavy Copper for PCBs

As customers and OEMs demand higher currents and increased operating temperatures, the need for heavy copper in PCB stack-ups has grown significantly. However, this presents challenges on the manufacturing side, where thicker copper layers can lead to lamination cracks or voids. Only a select group of suppliers has the specialized expertise to address these issues effectively, making it a niche area within the industry.
