PCB Impedance Calculator - Microstrip & Stripline | FlexiPCB

PCB Impedance Calculator

Calculate trace impedance for controlled impedance designs. Supports microstrip, stripline, coplanar waveguide, and differential pair configurations.

Transmission Line Type

Microstrip Stripline Coplanar Differential

Microstrip (Outer Layer)

Trace on outer layer with ground plane below. Most common for high-speed signals.

Trace Width (W) (mm)

Dielectric Height (H) (mm)

Copper Thickness (T) (mm)

Dielectric Constant (εr)

Impedance Results

Single-Ended Impedance 56.9 Ω

Effective εr 2.64

Propagation Delay 138.2 ps/inch

Based on IPC-2141 formulas. For production, verify with your fab house.
