Current Path Definition
Copper weight, conductor geometry and plated-hole details are considered for current-carrying traces, pours, vias and terminals in power conversion and distribution boards.
PCB Solutions for Power & Energy
Power and energy boards combine high-current paths, switching nodes, control circuits and large connected components. PCB construction considers current paths, insulation-related spacing, thermal interfaces and connector geometry. MWX PCB supports heavy-copper, multilayer and high-layer, and double-sided PCB manufacturing for these applications.
PCB Requirements & Manufacturing Considerations
Switching Loop Layout
Component placement, loop geometry and power-return relationships are considered with copper patterns, layer assignment and drill features for fast switching circuits.
Thermal Copper Distribution
Specified copper areas, thermal vias, internal planes and exposed-pad features are considered for localized heat from power semiconductors, magnetics and current-sense elements.
Clearance and Creepage Data
Defined clearances, slots, cut-outs and copper keep-outs are considered with board outline and layer information for high-potential nodes, isolation boundaries and connectors.
High-Energy Connections
Finished-hole specifications, annular-ring expectations, slots and reinforcement features are considered with board thickness and copper construction for busbars, terminals and large capacitors.
Production Data Alignment
Gerber files, drill data, stack-up notes and assembly-interface drawings are coordinated for board outline, copper features, hole definitions and requested testing.
Typical Applications
- Solar Inverter Control Boards
- Energy Storage Battery Management Boards
- EV Charging Power Modules
- DC Distribution Monitoring Boards
- UPS Control and Power Boards
- Industrial Power Supply Modules

Multilayer & High-Layer PCB
Suitable for power-control assemblies that need separate routing layers for control, sensing, communication and distribution functions. A multilayer stack-up can organize these functions within one board; dielectric choices, copper distribution and isolation features are evaluated from supplied fabrication requirements.

Single- & Double-Sided PCB
Suitable for simpler power-interface, monitoring or auxiliary-control boards with routing on two copper layers. Double-sided construction can support defined connector, switching and measurement sections where the supplied layout allows sufficient routing, thermal copper and required mechanical features.
