Double-Sided PCB: Our Best-Selling,
High-Performance Solution

Double-sided PCBs are mainly produced on FR4 material. FR4 is a copper-clad, woven glass-reinforced material with epoxy-based resin. The epoxy resin bonds the materials together and contains flame retardants.

Product Benefits

DS and Multilayer PCBs contain plated through holes enabling signals to cross through the layers. It makes higher component density possible compared with single-sided technology. It is a well-known technology used in all kinds of electronic devices.

Better Signal Integrity

DS containing both signal and ground plane layers enable better signal integrity since traces can be impedance controlled with reference in ground plane layers.

Cost-Effective

FR4 is the most cost-effective PCB material for DS PCB on the market.

High Reliability

Allow a reduction of 50% of the size of the board compared to a single-sided PCB

What is a Double-Sided PCB?

Definition

FR4 is glass-reinforced epoxy laminate. The designation FR4 was created by NEMA in 1968 (National Electrical Manufacturers Association). FR is the short form of Flame Retardant. FR4 is offered in many variations with modification of the epoxy to create lower CTE, higher Tg., higher CTI, lower Df & Dk etc…
