Product type
Single layer PCBs, or single-sided printed circuit boards, are the most basic type of PCB. They consist of a single conductive layer, typically made of copper, on one side of a non-conductive substrate, such as FR-4 or other materials. The circuit is printed on one side, while the other side is reserved for components. This design makes single layer PCBs cost-effective and simple to manufacture, making them suitable for basic electronic applications.
| Material | FR-4, CEM-1, or other dielectric materials |
| Layer count | 1 layer |
| Copper thickness | 1 oz to 3 oz |
| Board thickness | 0.8 mm to 1.6 mm |
| Minimum trace width | 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm |
| Minimum hole size | 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm |
When selecting a single layer PCB, consider the material type and thickness based on your application's requirements. Specify the desired copper thickness and ensure that the minimum trace width and hole sizes meet your design specifications. Additionally, consider the production volume, as bulk orders may reduce costs. Certifications like IPC standards may also be relevant depending on the application.

A single layer PCB has one conductive layer and is used for simple circuit designs.
Common materials include FR-4 and CEM-1.
They are used in consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial controls.
Typically, the minimum trace width ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.2 mm.
They usually range from 0.8 mm to 1.6 mm in thickness.
They are generally not recommended for high-frequency applications due to signal integrity issues.
