OZ to mils(inch) Convession
The formula converts Copper Plating Weight in oz to thickness in inch. This is useful for PCB designer willing to know the thickness corresponding to a copper plating weight to inch or mils.
The copper in a PCB is rated in ounces, and represents the thickness of 1 ounce of copper rolled out to an area of 1 square foot. For example a PCB that uses 1 oz. copper has a thickness of 1.4mils.
Following is the formula cpw ( in oz) to thickness ( in mils) conversion.
Thickness(in oz) = 1.37 * thickness (in mils)
Following is the formula thickness ( in mils) to cpw( in oz) conversion.
t ( in mils) = t ( in oz)/1.37
If you are interested in derivation, you can use the following facts to convert the Cu / ft2 to mils
1 oz = 28.35 g = 0.02835 kg
Area = 1 ft2 = (0.304 m)2 = 0.0924 m2
Density (Cu pure) rho = 8950 kg / m3
