A PCB Manufacturer Provides Multiple Layer PCBs

A PCB generally has a layered structure. Usually there are copper layers and insulating layers. The PCB manufacturer uses copper finishes which are on the surface of the PCB. If they are left exposes to the atmosphere and unprotected, they tend to oxidize leading to deterioration. Once it deteriorates, the PCB cannot be used.  In order to protect the copper surface, a surface finish is used which becomes and interface between the PCB and the component. The surface finish also provides a surface that can be soldered when the components are being assembled onto the circuit board.

Printed circuit board services include manufacturing the boards. There are several types of board including single layer, double layer and multiple layer PCBs. The single layer PCB has only one layer of the copper foil. The double layer has two layers of the copper foil which are layered one on top and the other one on the bottom. If the two layers are not enough and more are needed then they will be added in pairs. After the double layer will come the 4 layer and then the 6 or 8 or 10 layer PCBs. A Multilayer PCB can have as many as 32 layers.

There are many prototype PCB manufacturers available and all of them follow the same structures of making PCBs. There is the non-conductive material also known as the insulative substrate which is generally made out of epoxy and fiber glass. This substrate comes in several different thicknesses that range from 0.005 of an inch to 0.038 of an inch. The conductive layers on the other hand are made of copper. If you are looking to have a 2 layer PCB made, you can have it done in 72 hours. A 4 layer PCB takes a little longer, about 1 week.

The program managers have a good understanding of the importance of lead times and will ensure that production of your PCB is completed on time. Orders are scheduled in order to ensure that there is no delay and in the event that your order is urgent, the program manager will work closely with you giving you the best solution possibly while ensuring that quality is not compromised.
