Herman the German Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 :-[I have downloaded a programme calculating for voltage loss in any conductor. It seems helpful using it to design PCBs and the traces. However I do not quite understand which numbers I need to put in fora standard PCB with a copper layer of 35 micrometers.Is there somebody who can put the correct values in the boxes to design PCBs with traces no smaller than required and no bigger than necessary (to have space for signal traces)?To make it more delightful I added an attachment with a beautiful girl (her name is Vida Guerra (top model))regardsHerman the German Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ante Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I like your desktop Herman! ;DI think “Trace thickness” should be set to “Mills” first, try it! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman the German Posted October 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Mils don't help not knowing how many! Setting mils instead of inches just changes the value. I have got that far, 100 mils equal 1inch. Good to know somebody likes my desktop. My wife doesn't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooncat Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 According to a table in an old book on Wireless Coils, Chokes, and Transformers, from the 1930s, 24AWG is 0.020", 0.508mm diameter. Safe current is about 1.5 amps (at 4000amps per square inch).PS. I like the Desktop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
