What is the primary advantage of using double-sided PCBs over single-sided PCBs?
What is the primary advantage of using double-sided PCBs over single-sided PCBs?
- They are less expensive to manufacture
- They have a larger surface area for the conductor pattern (correct)
- They are only used for simple circuits
- They do not require vias for electrical connections
What is the purpose of vias in double-sided PCBs?
What is the purpose of vias in double-sided PCBs?
- To reduce the cost of manufacturing
- To connect the two conductor patterns electrically (correct)
- To increase the surface area of the PCB
- To separate the two conductor patterns
What is a via in the context of double-sided PCBs?
What is a via in the context of double-sided PCBs?
- A type of electrical component
- A conductor pattern on one side of the board
- A hole in the PCB filled or plated with metal (correct)
- A type of PCB manufacturing process
