  2. Thousandth of an inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousandth_of_an_inch

    Equal to 1 ⁄ 1000 of an inch, a thousandth is commonly called a thou / ˈ θ aʊ / (used for both singular and plural) or, particularly in North America, a mil (plural mils). The words are shortened forms of the English and Latin words for "thousand" ( mille in Latin).

  3. Circular mil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_mil

    A circular mil is a unit of area, equal to the area of a circle with a diameter of one mil (one thousandth of an inch or 0.0254 mm). It is equal to π /4 square mils or approximately 5.067 × 10 −4 mm 2. It is a unit intended for referring to the area of a wire with a circular cross section.

    Heavy copper is a layer exceeding three ounces of copper per ft 2, or approximately 4.2 mils (105 μm) (0.0042 inches) thick. Heavy copper layers are used for high current or to help dissipate heat. [citation needed] On the common FR-4 substrates, 1 oz copper per ft 2 (35 μm) is the most common thickness; 2 oz (70 μm) and 0.5 oz (17.5 μm ...

  5. Copper foil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_foil

    Electrodeposited Copper Foil; Electrodeposited copper foil, also known as electrolytic copper foil, is produced by electroplating copper onto a rolling drum in a highly controlled manner. This type of copper foil has uniform thickness and excellent electrical conductivity, making it ideal for high-performance electronic applications.

  6. Microstrip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microstrip

    Microstrip is one of many forms of planar transmission line, others include stripline and coplanar waveguide, and it is possible to integrate all of these on the same substrate. A differential microstrip—a balanced signal pair of microstrip lines—is often used for high-speed signals such as DDR2 SDRAM clocks, USB Hi-Speed data lines, PCI ...

  7. Wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    Between each step the diameter, or thickness, diminishes by 10.557%, and the area and weight diminish by ~ 20%. None of the above systems of measurement is part of the metric system. The current British Standard for metallic materials including wire is BS 6722:1986, which is a solely metric standard, superseding 3737:1964, which used the SWG ...

    Thickness of aluminum foil is measured in mils (1 ⁄ 1000 inch, or 0.0254 mm) in the United States. Cross-sectional area of electrical wire is measured in circular mils in the U.S. and Canada, one circular mil (cmil) being equal to 5.067 × 10 −4 mm 2 (or 7.854 × 10 −7 in 2). Since this is so small, actual wire is commonly measured in ...

  9. Internally grooved copper tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internally_grooved_copper_tube

    Tube weight was reduced by 31% when copper tube diameters were downsized from 3/8 inch to 7 mm. Tube weight was reduced by 46% when copper tube diameters were downsized from 3/8 inch to 5 mm. The weights of the fin materials in the coils was 3.55 kg for the 9.52 mm coils, 2.61 kg for the 7 mm coils, and 1.55 kg for the 5 mm coils.
