Different types of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) may be differentiated from one another based on the manufacturing processes, design specifications, and application requirements of various industries, such as the medical sector, the automotive industry, the armed forces, and the space industry. The intricacy of the designs that customers utilize, as well as their particular needs and requirements, is a major factor that drives the production of a wide variety of various types of PCB boards. Before settling on a printed circuit board (PCB), you should carefully evaluate several PCB fabrication factors, such as the amount of space that you need, how it will respond to stress, and how consistent it will be electrically and mechanically.
The following is a list of just some of the many readily available different types of PCBs:
· Single-Sided PCBs
· Double-Sided PCBs
· Multilayer PCBs
· Rigid PCBs
· Flex PCBs
· Rigid-Flex PCBs
Single-Sided PCBs
The single-sided printed circuit board (PCB) is the most common kind of printed circuit board. A single sheet of conductive copper sits directly on top of the substrate. On one side of the circuit board, the electrical components are soldered or put, while on the other side, the full etched circuit can be seen.
Double-Sided PCBs
In a double-sided PCB, a thin layer of conducting material, such as copper, is applied to both the top and bottom sides of the board. Metal parts can be linked from one side to the other through holes in the circuit board. Through-hole technology or surface mount technology is used to connect the circuits on either side of these PCBs.
Multi-Layer PCBs
Copper is often laid down in more than two layers on top of each other in multilayer printed circuit boards. In a broad sense, this classification applies to any board that has at least three electrical connections. Multilayer printed circuit boards are constructed in the shape of a sandwich, with multiple conductive layers that are double-sided and layered between an equal number of sheets of insulating material.
Rigid PCBs
A rigid printed circuit board (PCB) cannot be folded or deformed in any way. The board's primary component is a rigid substrate, which gives the board its inherent rigidity as well as its inherent strength.
Flex PCBs
To make a flexible printed circuit board, several printed circuits and parts are organized in a certain pattern on a substrate that is flexible. The most frequent types of materials used in the production of flexible printed circuit boards are polyamide, PEEK (Polyether ether ketone), or a transparent conductive polyester sheet.
Rigid-Flex PCBs
A Rigid-Flex PCB is a hybrid circuit board that combines elements from rigid and flexible circuit boards, resulting in a board that can be folded or continuously flexed and is typically shaped into a flexed shape or curve during the manufacturing process. This type of board is also known as a rigid-flex PCB.
