High-Current PCB Design: A Pitfall Avoidance Guide

Introduction Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) designed for high-current applications require careful consideration of thermal management, trace width, material selection, and component placement. Unlike low-power PCBs, high-current designs face challenges such as excessive heat generation, voltage drops, and potential failure due to inadequate current handling. This guide explores common pitfalls in high-current PCB design and provides…
