Hi all,

I'm into a high-power (5kW) DC/DC converter design. I need to find a way to properly bring all this current onto the power circuit PCB. The input side is ~200A@25V and the output is ~100A@50V.

Any idea about how I can connect the input and output wires on the PCB?

Thanks,

Alex
 
Generally you use solder type terminal blocks and jumper several of them together per leg.
 
Where are you going to get a PCB that can carry 200A?

In fact, there isn't a single trace that carry all the current. The current is carried in a bus bar and then splitted in 8 on the PCB.
