■ Standard Circuit Layer Thickness
The circuit layer is the component-mounting layer in Thermal Clad. Current carrying capability is a key consideration because this layer typically serves as a printed circuit, interconnecting the components of the assembly. The advantage of Thermal Clad is that the circuit trace interconnecting components can carry higher currents because of its ability to dissipate heat due to I2R loss in the copper circuitry.
The following equation can be used to calculate minimum trace width utilizing both circuit thickness and current requirements.
