Hi all,
I've seen and used the trace temperature vs. current calculators and
seen lots of information on calculating trace temps. However, I can't
find any information about just how hot you can let a trace get. I
know that copper melts at about 1100 deg. C, I'm pretty sure that the
board will be damaged before that,... So, how hot can a trace get and
still be OK on a board? Where does board damage occur and how hot are
we "allowed" to get a trace?
regards,
DLC
