Here's another one-

    I've designed and prototyped a circuit which controls high current
outputs.  I'm feeding a low voltage source through a few power MOSFETs that
pass up to 8 Amps max.  I'd like to get a few PCB printed, and am doing the
CAD work myself (ORCAD).  However, I am concerned about how to handle these
high currents with a printed circuit board..  What is the usual technique
when high current is involved??? The MOSFETs are housed in a TO-220 package.
Thanks in advance.
