2oz copper PCB introduction and application guide

/em /por

Placas de circuito impresso (PCBs) are a key component of electronic devices, both providing physical support for electronic components and enabling electrical connections. Among the many technical parameters of a PCB, the thickness or weight of the copper foil is particularly critical and is often expressed in ounces per square foot (oz/ft²). While 1oz copper foil is a common standard in traditional applications, 2oz copper PCBs are becoming increasingly popular as the performance needs of electronic devices increase.

Neste artigo, we’ll take an in-depth look at what the actual thickness of 2oz copper foil means in a PCB, explain why it’s growing in popularity in today’s electronic designs, plus we’ll sort through the key benefits that 2oz copper brings to the table, the applications for 2oz copper pcb’s, and introduce some design guidelines to help maximize its performance.

What is 2oz copper thick pcb

A 2oz copper thick PCB is a printed circuit board (PCB) with a copper foil thickness of 2 onças (Oz). Below is a detailed description of 2 ounce copper thick PCBs:
In the PCB industry, copper foil thickness is measured using ounces (Oz) as a unit, com 1 oz copper thickness indicating the thickness achieved by evenly distributing 1 Oz (approximately 28.35 gramas) weight of copper foil over a 1 square foot area.
A 1oz copper thickness equals approximately 35 microns (1.4 Mils), so a 2oz copper thickness is approximately 70 microns (2.8 Mils).

Basic Properties of 2oz Copper PCBs

High Conductivity: The increased thickness of the copper foil increases the ability of the line to carry a significant amount of current (formula: I ∝ h, h is the copper thickness) and reduces resistance losses.
Excellent heat dissipation: thick copper layer can quickly export heat, preventing components from overheating, extending the life of the equipment.
Alta resistência mecânica: strong resistance to bending, pulling and impact, adapting to complex industrial environments.
Classification difference: the production process is different between regular thick copper boards (≤3OZ) and ultra-thick copper boards (3-12Oz), with the latter requiring high-precision copper foil selection, special press-fit technology and enhanced etching process.

Why choose 2oz copper PCB?

High Current Carrying Capacity
Equation derivation: Line loadable current I is directly proportional to copper thickness h (I ∝ h), and heat generation Q is inversely proportional to copper thickness h (Q ∝ 1/h).
Practical application: In high power scenarios such as power modules and motor drives, 2oz copper PCBs can reduce resistance loss and improve system efficiency.

Thermal Management Optimization
The thick copper layer acts as a “cooling channel” to quickly transfer heat to the heat sink or enclosure to avoid localized overheating.
Case in point: automotive engine control systems are exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time, and 2oz copper PCBs ensure circuit stability.

Mechanical Reliability
Shock resistance is improved by more than 30%, suitable for industrial equipment or automotive electronics with frequent vibration.

Core Application Areas

Eletrônica Automotiva
Control modules, engine control systems, airbags and other critical components need to withstand high temperatures, corrosion and mechanical stress.

Poder & Energy
Módulos de potência, DC-DC converters, solar inverters, etc., need to handle high power conversion and distribution.

Automação Industrial

Design Recommendations for 2oz Copper PCBs

In order to fully utilize the advantages of 2oz copper foil thickness in circuit board design, design engineers should consider the following layout and wiring guidelines:

Reasonable use of space: 2oz copper supports finer line widths and spacing, allowing for a more compact device layout. Components can be appropriately dispersed during design to fully utilize the extra space.

Shorten wiring paths: Because 2oz copper has lower resistivity, there is less reliance on wider alignments, and shorter, more direct connections can be prioritized.

Optimize layer structure: Lower current densities allow for fewer board layers when the layout permits. No entanto, sufficient power and ground layers need to be maintained to ensure stability.

Reduced via size: Thanks to the high resolution capability of 2oz copper, smaller via designs can be used while maintaining good wiring density.

Increased component integration: Thinner copper wires make it easier to connect small package components, thereby increasing overall component density.

Controlling High Frequency Impedance: For high frequency applications, ensure that thin copper traces are routed as short as possible to avoid signal integrity issues caused by long or narrow traces.

Reduce thermal structure: If conditions permit, remove some heat sinks to reduce overall thermal resistance.

Increase copper-filled areas: Enhance heat dissipation efficiency and electromagnetic interference (Emi) shielding effect through reasonable copper surfacing, while maintaining a safe distance from signal lines.

Avoid excessive fragmentation of planar layers: Minimize fragmentation of the power and ground layers and improve continuity through multi-point over-hole connections.

Focus on edge spacing: Under high-precision etching processes, special attention needs to be paid to the alignment gap at the edge of the board to avoid processing defects.

Optimize design rules: Tighten the design grid and DRC (Design Rule Check) parameters to accommodate the manufacturing capacity of 2oz copper boards.

Pay attention to pad-via-hole matching: In high-density wiring, ensure that the design of pads and vias meets reliability requirements to avoid soldering problems.

Through rational layout and standardized wiring strategies, 2oz copper PCBs can not only effectively reduce board size, but also significantly improve electrical performance and help control manufacturing and assembly costs!

Resumo

With its high conductivity, thermal performance and mechanical strength, 2oz copper PCBs have become the first choice for high-power, high-reliability electronic devices. With the rapid development of automotive electronics, new energy and AI fields, its market demand will continue to grow. The design and manufacturing process needs to focus on line compensation, process optimization and thermal design to ensure product performance and yield. No futuro, intelligent production and the application of environmentally friendly materials will further promote the technological innovation and industrial upgrading of thick copper PCB.

Como remover revestimentos de proteção de PCBs

/em /por

Before production and processing, a protective revestimento isolante is typically applied to the surface of a PCB to safeguard it from environmental damage. This coating helps prevent water, pó, salt, and dirt from coming into contact with sensitive components, thus preserving the performance of the mainboard.

Removing conformal coatings can be challenging due to their durability and resistance to wear. If rework is needed, alcohol is not the ideal choice for removing these coatings. While alcohol is inexpensive and readily available, it lacks the solvent strength to effectively dissolve the coating and often requires extended soaking to have any effect. Neste artigo, we will explore effective methods for removing protective coatings from PCBs.

Types of Conformal Coatings

There are five common types of conformal coatings available on the market:

  1. Acrylic Resin
    Acrylic resins dissolve easily in many organic solvents, making them convenient for board rework. They offer selective chemical resistance, dry quickly, resist mold, do not shrink during curing, and provide good moisture resistance. No entanto, they have low abrasion resistance and are prone to scratching, cracking, and peeling.

  2. Epoxy Resin
    Typically composed of two parts that begin to cure upon mixing, epoxy resins offer excellent abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and decent moisture protection. No entanto, they are difficult to remove and rework. Because film shrinkage occurs during polymerization, a buffer solution is recommended around precision components. Curing at lower temperatures can help minimize shrinkage.

  3. Poliuretano
    Polyurethane coatings provide strong moisture and chemical resistance. Due to their robust chemical properties, removing them usually requires strippers, which may leave ionic residues behind. These residues must be thoroughly cleaned to avoid baseboard corrosion. Although rework through soldering is possible, it often results in brown discoloration that can affect the product’s appearance.

  4. Silicone
    Silicone is typically a single-component compound that begins to cure when exposed to moisture in the air and a certain temperature. Once cured, it forms a uniform, well-adhering layer across all surfaces of electronic components or modules. It is suitable for high-temperature environments (>120° c), as well as settings that require moisture sensitivity, chemical resistance, corrosion protection, and antifungal properties.

  5. Uretano (Polyurethane Carbamate)
    Urethane offers strong protection, hardness, and high solvent resistance. It provides excellent abrasion resistance and low moisture permeability. While it performs well in cold environments, it is not suitable for high-temperature applications. Most urethane coatings are difficult or impossible to rework or repair.

PCB

Common Types of Protective Coatings and Removal Methods

  1. Chemical Solvent Method

Applicable Types:

  • Poliuretano: Methanol/ethylene glycol ether with an alkaline activator, or toluene/xylene.

  • Acrílico: Methylene chloride, chloroform, ketones (Por exemplo, acetona), γ-butyrolactone, or butyl acetate.

  • Silicone: Methylene chloride or specific hydrocarbon solvents.

  • Epóxi: Difficult to remove once cured; for small areas, methylene chloride with an acidic activator and a cotton swab may be used.

Procedure:
Apply the solvent to the coating surface. Once the coating swells, gently wipe with a cotton swab or soft cloth. Avoid letting the solvent spread to unintended areas.

  1. Physical Removal Methods

Heat Method:

  • Ferramentas: Soldering iron or hot air gun.

  • Observação: Carefully control the temperature (do not exceed component tolerance). Suitable for high-temperature resistant components. Work quickly to avoid damaging the laminate.

Micro-abrasion Method:

  • Ferramentas: Specialized abrasive equipment (Por exemplo, walnut shell or glass bead media).

  • Observação: Mask surrounding areas to prevent electrostatic buildup. Should be performed by trained personnel.

Mechanical Scraping:

  • Ferramentas: Razor blade or small knife.

  • Passos: Cut a V-groove at the solder point, apply solvent, then lift the coating. Best for localized rework.

  1. Specialized Cleaning Agents

Recommendation: Use eco-friendly cleaning agents (Por exemplo, Kyzen ES125A).
Método: Ultrasonic cleaning or soaking. Suitable for large areas or complex PCBs.

  1. Localized Replacement Method

Use Case: When only specific components need replacement.
Passos: Use a soldering iron to heat and remove the coating on the component, replace the part, clean the area, and reapply conformal coating.

Resumo

PCB protective coatings are surface-applied materials designed to protect circuit boards from moisture, pó, chemicals, and high temperatures, thus improving product reliability. Os tipos comuns incluem:

  • Acrílico (easy to apply, requires specific solvents for removal),

  • Poliuretano (strong protection, difficult to remove, may emit toxic fumes when heated),

  • Silicone (heat-resistant and reworkable), e

  • Epóxi (very tough once cured, hard to remove).

Removal methods should be selected based on coating type and may include chemical solvents (Por exemplo, methylene chloride, methanol), physical methods (aquecer, abrasion), special cleaning agents, ou localized replacement. Always prioritize safety and environmental responsibility, and take care to avoid damaging the PCB or its components.
