Hi,
If i give 12V for a pcb and current passing through it is 5A. This board in turn supplies voltage for some other pcbs. The distance between two end pcb is 2 meters. How much width should i give for a supply voltage track so that the voltage drop is 0.5V between the two end pcbs.



Thanks,

Well thanks barry.

Here, if i give current, thickness and length as inputs it will give the output for voltage drop and width.

In addition i want to find the width of track if i give required voltage drop as input or vice versa. Is there any other tool available?


Thanks,
Murugesh
