Single Layer PCB
Single-layer or single-sided PCBs are the most common type of board. These boards have a single conductive copper layer sitting above the substrate, with electrical components soldered to one side. There is an etched circuit visible on a single side of the board, with a single conductive layer, and paths that do not overlap. Single-sided PCBs function best for low-density design requirements and are used for basic electronics such as radios, power supplies, and calculators. They’re easy to manufacture, cost-effective, and simple to repair.
Double Layer PCB
Double-layer or double-sided PCBs feature thin conducting material on the top and bottom of the board. With holes allowing the metal parts to connect from one side to the other, double-sided PCBs use through-hole or surface-mount technology to connect the circuits on either side, and lead components are installed through pre-drilled holes and soldered to pads on the opposite side. Surface-mount technology allows for the precise placement of electrical components, and these methods result in double-sided PCBs being much more versatile than single-sided options. Double-sided PCBs are used in cell phone systems, HVAC applications, and UPS systems, and are preferred for their low cost, compact size, increased circuit density, and design flexibility.
Multilayer PCB
Multilayer PCBs feature two or more copper layers and three or more conductive layers. These boards are designed with double-sided conductive layers divided by insulating materials, bonded and laminated under high temperatures and pressure which ensures a stable final product with no air gaps. Multilayer PCBs are commonly used in mobile phones, laptops, GPS trackers, medical equipment, and other more complex circuits. They are compact, feature robust design options, have higher levels of flexibility, and are the preferred option for high-speed circuits.
