Well eighter look it up or go through the math and calculate Imax on a pcb 
trace. I will gat back to you with this how one can go about doing this, i.e. 
if the data isn't available in the table below.

IPC-2221 which supercedes IPC-D-275 defines 
current handling capacity in a trace of a 
given cross sectional are for a given 
temperature rise.  Here is a link that
will provide you with alot of useful information
on this.

Hi all.
Is it possible to know the max value of the current which a PCB trace 
with a
defined cross section can tolerate?
