Meaning and function of PCB layers

1. Drilling layer: the drilling layer provides the drilling information during the manufacturing process of the මුද්රිත පරිපථ පුවරුව (for example, the via hole of the pad needs to be drilled).

2. Signal layer: the signal layer is mainly used to arrange the wires on the circuit board.

3. Solder mask: apply a layer of paint, such as solder mask, to all parts except the pad to prevent tin from being applied to these parts. The solder mask is used to match the pad in the design process and is automatically generated.

4. Solder paste protective layer, s-md patch layer: it has the same function as the solder resist layer, except for the corresponding bonding pad of surface bonded components during machine welding.

5. Forbidden wiring layer: used to define the area where components and wiring can be effectively placed on the මුද්රිත පරිපථ පුවරුව. Draw a closed area on this layer as the effective area for wiring. It cannot be automatically laid out and routed outside this area.

6. Silk screen layer: the silk screen layer is mainly used to place printing information, such as the outline and marking of components, various annotation characters, etc. Generally, various annotation characters are on the top screen printing layer, and the bottom screen printing layer can be closed.

7. Internal power supply / grounding layer: this type of layer is only used for multilayer boards and is mainly used for arranging power lines and grounding wires We call double-layer board, four layer board and six layer board, which generally refers to the number of signal layer and internal power / grounding layer.

8. Mechanical layer: it is generally used to set the overall dimensions, data marks, alignment marks, assembly instructions and other mechanical information of the circuit board. The information varies according to the requirements of the design company or PCB නිෂ්පාදකයා. In addition, the mechanical layer can be attached to other layers to output the display together.
