Hi every one, I design a PCB which power trace should be cable to carry 16A. I found two online calculators claims that their calculations based on IPC-2221 standard. However inserting the same parameters in both calculators there is significant deviation between the results Calculator 1 https://www.4pcb.com/trace-width-calculator.html Calculator 2 https://www.digikey.com/en/resources/conversion-calculators/conversion-calculator-pcb-trace-width I attach the screenshots from the results Thanks in advance |

Hi. In your digikey screenshot you screwed up the unit of measure (mil vs mm). I tried with mms and the results are comparable |

The PCB looks like the attached It is correct the traces to be wider than the through hole plated pads? |
