Re: Determining the "Weight" of copper on PCBs?

2006-08-31 by dl5012

Hi Chris,

Try this URL 
http://www.streamlinecircuits.com/streamline/pg_thickResist.shtml

Your guess was pretty close; 0.0014" for 1 ounce copper cladding.  
The 1 ounce info is correct (I've seen that number before), the half 
ounce thickness in microns is wrong; should be closer to 18um.  And 
the first entry is 0.125 ounce, not 125...

Regards,
Dennis
