10 Questions

What is the primary advantage of using double-sided PCBs over single-sided PCBs?

They have a larger surface area for the conductor pattern

What is the purpose of vias in double-sided PCBs?

To connect the two conductor patterns electrically

What is a via in the context of double-sided PCBs?

A hole in the PCB filled or plated with metal

Why are wires able to cross each other on double-sided PCBs?

Because the wires are routed on opposite sides of the board

What is the main difference between single-sided and double-sided PCBs?

The number of conductor patterns on the board

What is the primary benefit of having a larger surface area for the conductor pattern on double-sided PCBs?

Increased complexity of circuits

What is the primary purpose of plating or filling the hole in a via with metal?

To create an electrical connection between the conductor patterns

Why are double-sided PCBs more suitable for complex circuits than single-sided PCBs?

Because they have a larger surface area for the conductor pattern

What is the main limitation of single-sided PCBs compared to double-sided PCBs?

Limited surface area for the conductor pattern

What allows wires to cross each other on double-sided PCBs?

The ability to route wires on opposite sides of the board

Learn about double-sided boards in PCBs, which have conductor patterns on both sides and require vias to establish electrical connections. Understand how vias work as 'bridges' between the conductor patterns on different layers of the board.
