B-G431B-ESC1 Layout Question (Via Current)

FKL
Associate II

Hello,

I have had a look over the B-G431B-ESC1 Layout Files and found that the High Side FETs are connected to V+ with a single Via.

0693W000007DbIuQAK.pngThe brown layer is V+, the large red pad is where the FET Drain is connected.

I can only see the single via i marked. The production files state the same.

This via can only carry about 1A of current, so this is definitely a design flaw.

Can you please check if there is a error in the design files I downloaded or if I am right.

I tested this board the last two day. My Board gets extremly hot when using only 1A and 20V, some smaller drone esc dont get hot with 5A and they are even smaller. If this is true with the single via the board is pretty much useless. Is there a refund option?
