one- and two-sided PCBs
From simple to complex
Single-sided PCBs, also known as single-layer PCBs, are the simplest and most commonly used type of PCB. They consist of a copper layer applied to an insulating substrate such as FR4 (glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin).
Double-sided PCBs consist – as the name suggests – of two copper layers applied to both sides of the substrate. The two copper layers can be electrically connected to each other via vias.
Double-sided PCBs therefore offer more flexibility and enable more complex circuits.
The choice between single-sided and double-sided PCBs depends on the requirements of the project in question. Single-sided PCBs are generally cheaper and easier to manufacture, while double-sided PCBs are suitable for more complex circuits and denser component arrangements that cannot be accommodated on a single side.
Applications
