This is the base level of PCB technology commonly used in many industrial, consumer, building control, medical and EV products.
Single Sided PCBs – A single layer of copper which provides connections on only one side of the board. Single-sided PCBs are well-suited for simpler electronic devices or circuits with low complexity. This includes applications such as basic lighting controls, simple timers, and other uncomplicated electronic systems. Although this technology remains relevant, many customers are increasing the complexity of their products and converting to Double Sided PCBs.
Double Sided PCBs – Unlike Single Sided PCBs, which have a single layer of copper, Double Sided PCBs utilize both the top and bottom surfaces, with two layers of copper on either sides of a flame retardant substrate. In most cases, through holes are plated to interconnect the two sides. These PCBs are the most commonly produced along with 4 and 6-layer PCBs.
Both of these PCB technologies are considered uncomplicated and less expensive to manufacture than multi-layer or advanced PCB technologies. They are suitable for applications with low to medium circuit complexity and where cost and simplicity are essential considerations.
