# 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
