From PCB design to mass production, Fanway delivers quick-turn PCB manufacturing services as one-stop solutions to address your diverse project requirements and accelerate your time-to-market.
A single layer PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is the simplest type of PCB. Fanway, a China-based PCB manufacturing expert, offers cost-effective single-layer PCB solutions with competitive pricing.
Single layer PCB, also known as a Single-Sided Printed Circuit Board, is the simplest form of PCB design. It consists of a single conductive copper layer laminated on a non-conductive substrate (such as FR-4), with components mounted on one side and traces routed on the opposite side. The best solution for low-complex circuits, it is widely used in consumer electronics, power supplies, and industrial controls due to its affordable and rapid manufacturing process.
Advantages of Single-Layer PCBs
Cost-Effective
Single layer PCB with lower material and fabrication costs compared to multi-layer designs.
Rapid Production
Simple process reduces lead time because no lamination and via drilling required.
High Reliability
Minimum risk of layer misalignment.
Technical Support
24/ 7 online experts always ready to assist you.
