A double-sided circuit board, also known as a Double-sided circuitboard, is a type of printed circuit board (PCB) that features circuitry on both sides of a single substrate, typically a plastic or fiberglass base.
This design allows for more complex and compact wiring layouts, as both surfaces can be utilized for routing electrical connections. Holes, known as vias, are drilled through the board to allow for electrical connections between the circuits on the two sides. These vias are then plated with metal, such as copper, to ensure conductivity.
Double-sided circuit boards are widely used in various electronic devices where space is a constraint and higher circuit density is required. They offer advantages in terms of reduced size, increased functionality, and improved performance.
