Calculadora de largura de traço de PCB (IPC-2221/IPC-2152)

POSThttps://rftools.io/api/py/v1/calculate

Slug trace-width-current. Calcule a largura mínima do traço de PCB para a capacidade atual de acordo com IPC-2221 e IPC-2152. Obtenha resistência, queda de tensão e dissipação de energia. Resultados gratuitos e instantâneos.

Entradas

Envie cada uma destas em inputs, nas unidades mostradas. A maioria é obrigatória: uma chamada sem alguma delas é recusada (400) e não custa nada; uma entrada que a calculadora dispensa assume o padrão mostrado. Uma entrada fora da sua faixa ainda é calculada e sinalizada na procedência.
