PWB Trace Ampacity

Calculate the currect carrying capacity (ampacity) of a circuit board (PWB) trace according to IPC-2221, for external layers. For internal layers the current should be halved. This calculator assumes direct current (DC) or low frequency alternating current (AC). For high frequencies check out the skin effect resistance calculator.
