Safety Folks - I have a question for the group on the effects of temperature rating and deterioration. If a pcb is rated X degrees C, and the sizing of the power traces on an inner layer is such that the pcb temperature is now (X-1) degrees C,
What effect does this have on the longevity of the pcb? At what %of the temperature board rating X will discoloration occur? I would appreciate all comments, so please fee free to respond to the group or to me directly. Thanks. Regards, Mark F.
