Single Sided PCB

Single-sided printed circuit boards are circuit boards that have one sheet of conducting materials on one side and different electronic components incorporated on the other. The simplest and least expensive type of printed circuit board is the single-sided PCB. These kinds of PCBs only have one copper layer and one glass layer that serve as the base substrate. Electronic component holes are typically not plate-through holes. On one side is the design for the electronic parts, and on the other is the conductive circuit. It is known as a single-sided PCB, one-layer PCB, or single-layer PCB since there is only one conductive layer creating the circuit.

Making of Single-Sided PCB

It is very simple to create a single-sided printed circuit board. The procedure is as follows:

1. Create the PCB layout using any CAD tool or PCB design software.
2. Print the design on any glossy paper of high quality.
3. Pick up a fiberglass PCB substrate with copper plating.
4. Iron the board’s copper side’s PCB layout print.
5. For the board to become copper-etched, soak it in copper chloride solution for approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
6. Scrub the PCB Tracks of the laser ink using a scrubber.
7. Put on the green solder mask
8. Make the necessary component holes.
9. Solder each and every electronic component.

Function

Due to the consistency of comparable circuit boards, manual wiring mistakes can be eliminated once electronic equipment adopts them. Automatic soldering, automatic detection, and automatic insertion of electronic components can all be used to ensure the reliability of electronic equipment, increase worker productivity, cut costs, and simplify maintenance.

Advantages

High-density –  printed circuit boards have evolved throughout the years as mounting technologies and integrated circuit integration have improved.

High reliability – The PCBs can be made to function dependably for a long time by a variety of examinations, testing, and aging tests (usually 20 years).

Design-ability – The printed board may be quickly and effectively designed through design standardization for the many performance (electrical, chemical, mechanical, etc.) needs of the single panel.

Producibility – To guarantee consistency in product quality, modern production management allows for standardization, scaling (quantification), automation, etc.

Test-ability – To identify and evaluate the eligibility and serviceability of the single PCB, complete test methodologies, standards, and a variety of test devices have been developed.
