Mick and Chee-Yee, don't forget some material lost by cleaning processes and the influence of roughness, Andreas Andreas Lenkisch Product Manager Backplanes Schroff GmbH Langenalber Strasse 96-100 D-75334 Straubenhardt Germany Ph.: ++49 7082 794 674 FAX.: ++49 7082 794 133 mobile: ++49 175 59 43 544 e-mail: andreas_lenkisch@xxxxxxxxxx Internet: www.schroff.de |--------+----------------------------> | | "Chung, Chee Yee" | | | <chee.yee.chung@in| | | tel.com> | | | Gesendet von: | | | si-list-bounce@fre| | | elists.org | | | | | | | | | 13.08.2001 17:38 | | | Bitte antworten an| | | chee.yee.chung | | | | |--------+----------------------------> >-------------------------------------------------------------| | | | An: "'xlzhou@xxxxxxxxx'" <xlzhou@xxxxxxxxx>, | | "Si-List (E-mail)" <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | | Kopie: | | Thema: [SI-LIST] Re: Resistance | >-------------------------------------------------------------| Mick, you will never get pure copper resistivity, because of the nickel and gold plating. as for the packages that we use, our trace resistivity turns out to be between 1.3X-1.5X that of pure copper. including manucturing variances, we have used as much as 2X pure copper resistivity. chee-yee -----Original Message----- From: Zhou, Xingling (Xingling) [mailto:xlzhou@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, August 13, 2001 7:07 AM To: Si-List (E-mail) Subject: [SI-LIST] Resistance Hi, When you calculate the DC resistance of wires and traces, which resistivity values should be used or more practical ? Most books give 1/5.8e-7 = 1.724e-8 for pure cooper. However, Dr. Johnson's book gives 6.787e-7 (p.411) and he explained his reasons. On p.409, he mentioned that " the authors have used MathCad to evaluate each of the following formulas in well-known test cases...". Obviously, the two values are quit different, three times ! So, please provide your suggestion ? Thanks.
