Hi Folks,
One two very short tracks on my PCB I need to carry 25A continuously between battery and charger. According to the calculator I have, for a normal PCB (1oz copper) , I have to have a track width of 25mm.
The track is very short, less than 5-6CM between posts.
Is it considered dirty if I reduce the size slightly and put a large amount of solder along the track or solder a solid copper wire along the length of the track? If I had a 2.5mm solid strand along the length and up close to the spade post, the wire would be doing most of the work.
Is this a real dear gawd man what were you thinking! or is it ok?
Thanks
Crispin
