Double-sided PCBs

The use of cost-effective PCB technologies based on standard FR4 base material or as IMS with copper carrier is still sufficient for many applications. The PCBs produced in this way map your layout on two plated-through copper layers.

Why choose complex PCB technologies when double-sided PCBs are both simpler and less expensive? The use of cost-effective PCB technologies based on standard FR4 base material or as IMS with copper carrier is still sufficient for many applications, such as in industrial electronics or in the automotive sector. The PCBs produced in this way map your layout on two plated-through copper layers.

Edge plating 

The end faces of the PCB contour can be plated in order to improve the EMC protection of a PCB, make electrical contact with the housing of the module or meet increased cleanliness requirements. 

Edge plating

Milled plated through holes 

It is possible to produce application-specific components with so-called milled plated through holes. Due to the possibility of contact on the front side, the resulting PCBs can be soldered as components to another board (interposer).
