TYPES OF PCB BOARD
PCB boards are classified into three types: single sided, double sided and multi-
layered PCB boards and all the three types of PCB Boards are briefly discussed
low.
1, Single Sided Board
Single sided print circuit boards are in use since 1950s and are still dominating the
market. The design of this single sided PCB is simple and contains copper trades on
one side of the board. Each component can be inserted from the non-copper side of
the board, and each pin can be soldered to the copper track. The operating
temperatures may range from1300C to 2300C; this type of PCB Board is commonly
used in calculators, basic electronic circuits, coffee machines, printers, etc.
2. Double Sided Board
Double sided Printed Circuit Board type of circuits act as a gateway to higher
technology applications. In this type of PCB, the copper tracks are available on both
sides of the board. The layout is designed in such a way that it does not allow the
shorts from one side to the other.
If there is a requirement to link points from two sides, the electrical connections are
made by small interconnecting holes during the manufacturing process and are
plated with copper. The most common uses of the double sided PCBs include mobile
systems, amplifiers, converters, instrumentation devices, regulators, etc.
3. Multilayered PCB Board
As the name suggest, this type of PCB is made by multiple PCBs that are assembled
together with a mutual connection between them. Multilayered print circuit boards
are used mainly in some professional electronic equipments like computers. These
types of PCBs are very useful in high-speed circuit operations. The multilayered
fabrications are very similar to the microchip fabrications, and they can be built on
ceramic, copper and aluminium. Applications that use multilayered print circuit
boards include x-ray equipment, weather analysis equipments, satellite systems, and
others.

Classification of different Soldering methods
Soft Soldering —
Soft soldering is’a process for fitting very minute compound parts possessing low
liquefying temperature, which have been broken during the procedure of soldering
is performed at high temperature. In this process, a tin-lead alloy is used as space
filler metal. The liquefying temperature of the space filler alloy must not be less than
400°C / 752°F.
Hard Soldering
In this type of soldering a solid solder unites two elements of metals by spreading
out into the holes of the component that are unlocked due to high temperature. The
space filler metal grips higher temperature more than 450°C/840°F. It comprises of
two elements: Silver soldering and Brazing.
Silver Soldering
It is an unsolled method supportive to fabricate small components, carrying out
abnormal maintenance and built-up tools. It makes use of an alloy containing silver
as a space filler metal.
Braze Soldering
This type of soldering is a procedure for connecting two terminals. of the base
metals by forming liquid metallic space filler, which runs by the attraction of a vessel
through the joints and cools down to give a solid union through diffusion and atomic
magnetism. It produces a very strong joint.
