Beyond IPC-2152: Creating Technology-specific Current-carrying Capacity Design Charts Using Thermal Modeling
01/29/2026 | Mike Jouppi, Thermal Management LLCDesigners commonly size traces using online calculators based on IPC-2221 or IPC-2152 charts, selecting width and thickness for a given current and allowable temperature rise (ΔT). Consideration is given to parallel conductors, although this is not a practical evaluation method for most designs. An important aspect of trace heating, especially groups of traces, is the power dissipated by the conductors. Unfortunately, the power dissipation or a method for accounting for power losses in the traces/conductors or planes is not straightforward.
