About Amperes per square inch

The ampere per square inch (A/in²) equals 1 / (0.0254)² A/m² ≈ 1550 A/m², used in US power semiconductor datasheets and electroforming specifications. JEDEC JESD22 and IPC standards specify maximum allowable current density in bond wires and copper interconnects in A/in²; electroforming of micro-components targets 0.5-5 A/in². 1 A/in² ≈ 1550 A/m² = 0.155 A/cm².

About Amperes per square foot

The ampere per square foot (A/ft²) equals 1 / (0.3048)² A/m² ≈ 10.764 A/m², used in US electroplating and grounding standards. ASTM B734 copper plating specifications cite current density in A/ft²; IEEE Std 80 specifies grounding grid design current density in A/ft² when ground fault current is distributed across the soil surface. 1 A/ft² ≈ 10.764 A/m².
