Power Control & Energy

Engineering considerations

High-current carrying capability

Inverter and distribution structures hinge on copper weight and thermal path. Weights above 12 oz are available (16 oz and 18 oz in production); conductor cross-section is calculated against the temperature-rise target.

Insulation and withstand voltage

The high-voltage side needs adequate creepage and dielectric withstand, where material CTI and solder-mask coverage are key. High-CTI (>600V) material options are available; clearances are checked against the applicable safety standard.

Applicable board types

The board types below are the ones that come up most often in power control & energy applications. Each link goes to that board type's capability page with material, layer-count and process ranges. Combined constructions such as hybrid lamination or embedded copper are also available.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a power control & energy project take from enquiry to prototype?

Quotations are returned within 30 minutes as a rule. Expedited prototype lead times run by layer count: double-sided 24 hours, 4-layer 48 hours, 6–8 layer 72 hours, 10–12 layer 96 hours; single-stage HDI at 6 layers is 48 hours. Volume lead times are set by order quantity.

Which inspection and material documents can you supply?

As standard we supply a certificate of conformance, material certifications with lot records, and electrical test records; impedance test reports and microsection analysis are available on request. Acceptance can be run to IPC-6012 Class II or Class III, which must be stated on the order.
