I am designing a power supply that has a few higher amperage traces (10A-20A DC @ 5v-12v) and it is on a fairly high density small area board. I was thinking there must be a way to make one of the traces basically all solder (like a giant pad) then solder on a metal bar or solid core wire or something of the sort. Is there a standard name for this, or is this doable/feasible?
What about doing the above sans actual metal bar? Would the added thickness of the solder paste help any or would it be detrimental without something else there?
