Types of PCB
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) has a form and type that is mandated – various according to the use and function of the PCB itself. Based on the layer that is the PCB builder is distinguished into three types, namely single layer (single-sided) PCB and double-sided PCB (double-sided), and multilayer. Each type of layer on the PCB is then distinguished again into several kinds of PCB as follows.
Single-Sided PCB is a type of PCB that has only one layer of copper components on one side of its substrate. This type of PCB is widely used for a variety of simple electronic circuits with components that do not apply much so that it has a relatively cheap PCB manufacturing cost.
Double-Sided PCB is a type of PCB with two layers of copper on each side of its substrate so it has a stronger coating. In Double Sided PCB there are usually holes that serve as the connecting of the two copper layers so that they can be properly connected.
Multilayer PCB is a type of PCB that has several layers and more than two layers of copper. The copper layer of the multilayer PCB is separated by the insulator layer so that no unwanted co-production occurs. Pcb multilayers are usually used for complex electronic circuits that require quite a lot of conductors.
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is also distinguished based on its level of flexibility. The flexibility of the PCB determines the use of the PCB. Here's a grouping of PCBs based on their level of flexibility.
Type Rigid PCB (Rigid). This type of PCB is in the form of a rigid circuit board and cannot be flexed or folded. This type has a strong and fixed texture, commonly used for rigid substrate materials such as fiberglass.
Flex PCB Type (Flexible). This type of PCB has a substrate made of plastic material that is quite easily bent, flexed, and arranged. By using Flex PCB, the circuit is easily bent without damaging it so that it can follow the shape of the electronic device.
Type Rigid-Flex PCB. This type of PCB is a combination of rigid and flexible PCBs. Typically, some Rigid PCBs are interconnected using Flex PCB.
The above types of PCBs have their own functions and usage. To choose the type of PCB to be used it is necessary to do the PCB design process first. The type of PCB to be used must be able to support the circuit to be created and placed on the electronic device to be used.
