Abstract

A printed circuit board includes a layer. A layer of copper is covered on a surface of the layer. A through hole extends through the printed circuit board. A thermal engraving is defined in the surface of the layer, surrounding the through hole and without being covered by the layer of copper. The thermal engraving includes a first opening and a second opening. The first opening of the thermal engraving faces an output terminal of the power supply, and is non-contiguous with the second opening.

Claims (9)

1. A printed circuit board comprising a layer and a power supply, the layer comprising:

a layer of copper arranged on a surface of the layer;

wherein a through hole extends through the printed circuit board; and

wherein a thermal engraving is defined in the surface of the layer and surrounds the through hole without being covered with the layer of copper, the thermal engraving includes a first opening and a second opening, the first opening of the thermal engraving faces an output terminal of the power supply and is not contiguous with the second opening.

2. The printed circuit board of claim 1 , wherein a depth of the thermal engraving is greater than or equal to a thickness of the layer of copper.

3. The printed circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the layer is a power layer.

4. The printed circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the second opening is shorter than the first opening.

5. The printed circuit board of claim 1 , wherein the thermal engraving further comprises a third opening, the third opening is non-contiguous with the first opening and the second opening.

6. The printed circuit board of claim 5 , wherein the third opening is shorter than the first opening.
