Types of Circuit Boards
- Single-Sided Circuit Boards
- Double-Sided Circuit Boards
- Multi-Layer Circuit Boards
Single-sided circuit boards have components on one side and wiring on the other, making them cost-effective but limited in complexity.
Double-sided boards are used when single-layer wiring is insufficient, with copper-clad wiring on both sides connected through vias for more complex designs.
Multi-layer boards have more than three conductive layers with insulating material in between, enabling higher speed, capacity, and functionality in electronic devices.
Classification of Circuit Boards
Circuit boards are categorized into flexible boards (FPC), rigid boards (PCB), and rigid-flex boards (FPCB) based on their characteristics.
PCB Production Process
Key steps in the PCB printed circuit board production process include design, fabrication, assembly, and testing.
