NOTE: In order to understand the PCB Toolkit version differences, I have added this brief description of the version series. If you are not yet familiar with the IPC- 2.

All online calculators that use the IPC- 2. PCB Toolkit Version 6 series: Functionally the same as the series 5 as related to the IPC- 2. PCB Toolkit Version 5 series: This version uses the IPC- 2. We have also been working on developing our own formulas for current to get as close as possible to the measured data charts of the IPC- 2. We feel that all values in the version 5 series are within +/- 1. PCB Toolkit Version 4 series: This version uses the IPC- 2. The conservative chart in the IPC- 2.

IPC- 2. 22. 1 so that was the formula used. Version 4 series is accurate to the IPC- 2. PCB Toolkit Version 3 series: This version uses the IPC- 2. The IPC- 2. 22. 1 has been superseded by the IPC- 2. Now also calculates DC resistance with temperature compensation. Other conductor properties include: Conductor skin depth.

Conductor voltage drop. Conductor DC resistance. Conductor power dissipation. Conductor voltage drop. Skin depth. Skin depth percentage.

Edge coupled internal symmetric differential pair. Edge coupled internal asymmetric differential pair. Edge coupled embedded differential pair. Broadside coupled shielded differential pair. Broadside coupled non- shielded differential pair.

PCB Padstack Calculator. Calculates the outer and inner layer diameters of a padstack given the drill size. BGA land calculator based on the IPC- 7. Add Sata Driver Xp Installation Flash here. A specification. BGA Land calculator to determine optimal pad size based on ball diameter.

Conductor to Pad calculator to determine maximum conductor width and pad diameter. Conductor to BGA land calculator to determine maximum trace width for BGA breakout. Corner to corner calculator to determine the diagonal distance of a square / rectangular aperture.

Mechanical Data. Calculates wire diameter for a given AWG gauge. Drill chart with imperial and metric diameters. Imperial screw thread size chart. Minimum PCB Conductor Spacing Chart. Calculates minimum conductor spacing's using peak AC or DC voltage based on IPC- 2. A data. PCB conductor Impedances.

Calculates impedance of a PCB Microstrip or PCB Stripline. Microstrip. Embedded microstrip. Stripline symmetrical. Stripline asymmetrical.

Calculates the resistance (Ohms) of an embedded resister based on given geometry. Crosstalk Calculator. Calculates coupled voltage between two conductors based on rise time, voltage, length and spacing. Please check back often, this program is updated often per customer requests. Fusing Current. Uses Onderdonk's equation to determine the fuse current of a conductor. Effective Dielectric Constant Calculator. Uses the E. Hammerstad and O.

Jensen equation to determine effective dielectric constant of a microstrip. Please note that when using the IPC- 2. This is due to a multiplier used for each cross sectional area range. All values are within +/- 1.

If you do not need to minimize conductor width on your PCB, you can use the IPC- 2. Product Revision Notes. Version 7. 0. 3 Updates & Additions: Added note when solving for conductor width.
