PCB Trace Width Calculator

|

Here's a links list for PCB trace calcultor, calculates the trace width for printed circuit board conductors for a given current using formulas from IPC-2221 (formerly IPC-D-275).

PCB Trace Width Calculator - This Javascript web calculator calculates the trace width for printed circuit boards based on a curve fit to IPC-2221 (formerly IPC-D-275). Also see the via calculator.

ANSI PCB Trace Width Calculator - This page calculates approximations to the ANSI/IPC-D-275 and IPC-2221 design standards for PCB trace width. The approximations and rationale are described in Temperature Rise in PCB Traces
