Hi all,

I found (randomly searched) one side for small projects- for (not only)beginners...

Calculator complies with ANSI/IPC-D-275 and IPC-2221 design standards for PCB trace width.

www.mcuexamples.com/PCB-Trace-width-calculator.php

PCB trace widths are calculated using following formulas;

I = 0.0150 x dT 0.5453 x A0.7349 for internal traces

I = 0.0647 x dT0.4281 x A0.6732 for external traces

where:

I = maximum current in Amps

dT = temperature rise above ambient in °C

A = cross-sectional area in mils²


Check your design with them, maybe its a interesting know-how for somebody...
