Circuit Boards: Understanding the Different Types
When it comes to circuit boards, there are three main categories based on the number of layers: single panel, double-sided board, and multi-layer circuit board.
Single Panel
In a single panel PCB, components are concentrated on one side while wires are on the other side. This type of board is cost-effective and simple to manufacture, but it may not be suitable for complex products.
Double-Sided Board
Double-sided boards have copper wires on both sides, allowing for more complex electronic products that require additional wiring. The two layers are connected through through holes to establish network connections.
Multi-Layer Circuit Board
Multi-layer boards consist of three or more conductive pattern layers with insulating materials in between. These boards are designed to meet the demands of high-speed, multifunctional, and compact electronic devices.
