Single Layer PCB
What Is Single Layer PCB?
A single layer PCB is type of PCB that is made of substrate material which is typically fiber glass or an equivalent material with conductive copper channels. Traces are used to link the various components that are installed on the board of single layer PCB. Single layer PCBs are usually made for simplest electrical devices for simple circuitry. Single layer PCBs hold a unique position due to their less expensive in cost then multilayer PCB’s. Below are the mentioned capabilities, detail structure and application about single layer PCB’s
The Single Layer PCB Structure
The single layer PCB is consist of only one sided copper (conductive copper) over the non conductive PCB substrates. Below is the overview of its structure:
Substrate (Base Material)
Substrate is a base material made from epoxy resin fiber glass, which helps as a mechanical support for rigid PCB’s, current insulation and helps keep all copper layer separate.
Copper Layer
Solder Mask
A polymer layer that is usually green, also it comes in other colors. It protects the copper traces from oxidation and prevents solder bridges between solder pads during the soldering process.
Silkscreen
A non-conductive ink, often white, but can also be yellow, black, or other colors. The purpose for printing silkscreen on PCB’s is to provide reference designators, UL & Date code markings and other information to help during assembly and troubleshooting.
