Double-sided printed circuit boards

The use of cost-effective PCB technologies based on standard FR4 base material is still sufficient for many applications. Double-sided PCBs manufactured in this way map their layout on two plated-through copper layers.

Double-sided printed circuit boards

Why choose complex PCB technologies when double-sided PCBs are simpler and more cost-effective? For many applications, e.g. in industrial electronics or the automotive sector, the use of cost-effective PCB technologies based on standard FR4 base material is still sufficient. PCBs manufactured in this way have a layout on two plated-through copper layers.

Edge metallization 

In order to improve the EMC protection of a circuit board, to create an electrical contact to the housing of the assembly or to meet increased cleanliness requirements, the front sides of the circuit board contour can be metallized.

Milled vias 

It is possible to produce application-specific components with so-called milled through-holes. The resulting circuit boards can be soldered onto another circuit board as components (interposer) due to their front-side contacting option.
