Low Layer Count PCBs - Why They Are Not All Created Equal

While many perceive high-tech PCBs as those with more layers, our aim is to outline the key areas that need to be understood when evaluating the capabilities of 2- and 4-layer PCB manufacturers. These versatile and cost-effective circuit boards can be as high-tech as their multi-layer counterparts, and our objective is to educate our audience as to what to look for to ensure that you get exactly what you are looking for.

Low Layer Count PCBs - Why They Are Not All Created Equal

Because of changes in technology, 2- and 4-layer PCBs continue to be at the forefront of high-tech electronics manufacturing, design strategies, manufacturing requirements, and the future of PCB technology, showcasing how these compact boards can rise to any challenge.

In this webinar, we cover design strategies, manufacturing requirements, and the future of PCB technology, showcasing how these compact boards can rise to any challenge. We also delve into the advantages and limitations of 2- and 4-layer PCBs, compare them to multi-layer boards, and discuss design tips to maximize their performance.
