# tests all traces will be 10mm wide - each track should handle around 6.5A of current @ 10c internal and 12.7A external all pcbs will be 1oz copper all pcbs will be 4 layer FR4 all other areas of the PCB will have a ground plane all traces will be 100mm after the start of the connector # atturbes to test - VARIBLES (independent): - EXPOSED SOLDER MASK - thin layer of solder - thick layer of solder - VIA STICHED - GROUND PLANE(S) - TRACES: - TOP LAYER - 12.7 - MIDDLE LAYER - 6.5 - TOP 2 - 19.2 - MIDDLE 2 - 15 - TOP AND BOTTOM - 25.4 - 3 LAYER NO TOP - 25.7 - 3 LAYER NO MIDDLE - 31.9 - ALL LAYERS - 38.4 # what to measure: - 4 probe test for resistance - current until trace has heated up by 10c above ambient
