Understanding Double-Sided PCBs: Benefits and Applications What are Double-Sided PCBs? The most common type of printed circuit boards (PCBs) used nowadays are double-sided PCBs. Higher technology electronics employ double-sided PCBs rather than single-sided ones since they have two-sided traces with a top and bottom layer. A double-sided PCB can be visualized as two single-sided PCBs…...
