Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electrical control, in particular to a wiring copper foil for a circuit board and a circuit board. Background Art

[0002] Circuit boards can miniaturize and visualize circuits, and play an important role in the mass production of fixed circuits and the optimization of electrical appliance layout. Circuit boards are often used in various electrical appliances to improve intelligence. For example, circuit boards can be used in air conditioners, refrigerators, and so on. Circuit boards usually have copper foil, which is a thin, continuous layer of metal foil deposited on the base layer of the circuit board. As a conductor, it is easy to adhere to the insulating layer, accept the printed protective layer, and form a circuit pattern after corrosion. Most copper foils are 35μm thick, which is multiplied by the line width to get the cross-sectional area. There is an empirical formula for current density, which is 15-25A / mm 2 , multiply it by the cross-sectional area to get the flow capacity I = KT 0.44 A 0.75 , K is the correction coefficient, generally the copper-clad wire is 0.024 in the inner layer and 0.048 in the outer layer, T is the maximum temperature rise, unit K (the melting point of copper is 1060℃), generally the temperature rise we allow is 10K, A is the copper-clad cross-sectional area, unit square mil (square mil), I is the maximum allowable current, unit A, generally 10mil=0.01inch=0.0254mm, which can be 1A. The inventor found that the conduction and shutdown of the low-voltage and low-resistance switching devices on the circuit board are asynchronous, and the asynchronous nature is easy to cause instantaneous impact damage to the components. Summary of the invention

[0003] The inventor of the present invention has found that the on and off of the low-voltage and low-resistance switching devices on the circuit board are asynchronous, and the cause of the problem is that the general power switching devices are large in size and the space on the circuit board is limited, so the wiring is often not completely matched, so the on-impedance of the wiring is inconsistent, R = ρL / (0.03W). The conductivity of copper is ρ = 0.0175Ω / m. L is the line length, and W is the line width. Therefore, the generated R = 0.0175L / (0.03W) = 7ΔL / (12*W). Taking the line width of 10mm and the line length difference of 20mm as an example, the impedance difference ΔR = 1.17mΩ. Calculated based on the current of 50A, the voltage drop ΔV = ΔR*I = 1.17mΩ*100A = 0.058V. For voltage-sensitive devices, it is very likely to cause asynchronous on and off problems. Based on this, the present invention proposes a wiring copper foil for a circuit board and a circuit board, which mainly solves the on-off synchronization problem of low-voltage and low-resistance switching devices.

[0017] Optionally, the raised portion of the first copper foil is adjacent to the first switching device.

[0018] The wiring copper foil and circuit board of the present invention have a raised portion, which can change the impedance of the copper foil, that is, the synchronization problem of on-off and the uniformity of heating can be solved by the difference in routing impedance, that is, the current balancing and signal synchronization problems can be solved by differentiated control of wiring, thereby ensuring the reliability of components.

The second copper foil 30 can be a conventional copper foil in the shape of a long strip, or it can be said that the second copper foil 30 only includes the strip copper foil portion 21 of the first copper foil 20.
