What is Double-sided Laminate
Double-sided laminate refers to a type of printed circuit board that features copper coating on both the top and bottom sides. This design allows for circuit layout and soldering on both sides of the board, making it highly versatile for various applications. The double-sided laminate PCB consists of an insulating layer sandwiched between the copper layers, providing electrical isolation between the top and bottom circuits.
To establish electrical connections between the circuits on each side, the double-sided laminate PCB utilizes vias. Vias are small holes on the board that are filled or coated with metal, serving as bridges for electrical connectivity. These vias enable signals and power to pass through the board and connect different layers of the PCB, facilitating the interconnection of circuits on both sides.
Compared to single-sided boards, the double-sided laminate PCB offers a larger area for circuit design and layout, effectively doubling the available space. This expanded area allows for more complex circuit designs and interlaced layouts. The use of vias simplifies the connection between the circuits on each side, making the double-sided laminate PCB particularly suitable for circuits with higher complexity and functionality requirements.
