2-Layer PCB: Advantages, Applications, and Manufacturing

Discover everything about 2-layer PCB, including their advantages, applications, manufacturing process, and why Best Technology is the ideal partner for your PCB needs.

What is a 2-Layer PCB?

A 2-Layer PCB, also known as a double-layer PCB, is a printed circuit board that consists of two conductive copper layers. These layers are located on the top and bottom surfaces of the board, separated by an insulating substrate material. 2-Layer PCBs are widely used in electronic devices due to their ability to support more complex circuits than single-layer PCBs while remaining cost-effective and relatively simple to manufacture.
