Double Layer PCB

Double sided PCB is popular Type of PCB or Printed Circuit Board

Characteristics of Double-Layer PCB

Double-layer PCB (Double-Sided PCB) features conductive copper traces on both sides of the board, offering several advantages:

  • Increased Circuit Density: Components and traces can be placed on both sides, allowing for more complex circuit designs.
  • Improved Electrical Performance: Enables shorter paths for signals, reducing resistance and enhancing electrical performance.
  • More Design Flexibility: With vias connecting both sides, designers can optimize circuit layouts for functionality and performance.
  • Medium Cost: While more expensive than single-layer PCBs, it remains cost-effective for many applications compared to multilayer PCBs.
  • Widely Used in Various Industries: Suitable for applications requiring more complex circuitry than single-layer boards but without the high cost of multilayer PCBs.

Manufacturing Features of Double-Layer PCB

  • Base Material: Commonly FR4 (fiberglass), but also available in CEM-3, aluminum-based, and ceramic-based substrates.
  • Copper Foil Thickness: Standard options include 1oz (35µm), with alternatives such as 0.5oz (18µm), 2oz (70µm), or even thicker for high-power applications.
  • Vias and Plated Through-Holes (PTH): Used to connect the two copper layers, allowing interlayer signal transmission.
  • Surface Finish Options: Includes HASL, ENIG, immersion silver, OSP, and other treatments to enhance solderability and longevity.
  • More Complex Processing: Requires precise drilling, via plating, and alignment to ensure proper connectivity between the two layers.

Application Fields of Double-Layer PCB

Double-layer PCBs are widely used across different industries due to their enhanced capabilities and reasonable cost:

  • Industrial Control Systems: Used in automation, motor controllers, and power management systems.
  • Consumer Electronics: Found in gaming consoles, TVs, audio systems, and other home electronics.
  • Automotive Electronics: Used in infotainment systems, sensors, and engine control modules.
  • Medical Devices: Applied in diagnostic and monitoring equipment.
  • Telecommunications: Used in networking devices such as routers, switches, and signal amplifiers.
  • Power Supplies: Found in DC-DC converters, UPS systems, and high-efficiency power modules.
