Printed wiring board (PWB) for high amperage circuits

摘要

A printed wiring board (PWB), 2, includes a substrate, 4, having first, 6, and second, 8, opposing surfaces and a busbar coupled to the substrate. The busbar, 16, includes a power input connector and a cross-sectional dimension configured and disposed to carry at least 100 amperes. At least one semiconductor device, 80, 81, is mounted to the busbar, 16. The at least one semiconductor device, 80, 81, induces an input, 82, electrically coupled to the busbar, 16, and an output, 83. One or more output conductors, 40-47, are electrically coupled to the output, 83, of the at least one semiconductor device, 80, 81. The one or more output conductors include a cross-sectional dimension configured and disposed carry at least 50 amperes.
