Blank PCB By Feature
This type of PCB’s single-sided versions are typically applicable to any consumer-targeted device you can think of.
When considering its use, keep in mind that Double-sided PCBs fall somewhere between simple and complex multilayer PCBs.
Most of these boards are referred to as Copper Clad. Typically, copper clad (CCL) is 0.5mm thick, though there are thinner variations.
The quintessential example of a blank PCB is a prototype PCB. Customers frequently express interest in products made of Metal Core.
For this kind of PCB, it is possible to obtain blank aluminum-material types. Other materials, such as, 10 oz copper.
For a smartphone PCB, you can choose different laminates/prepregs if you want to maximize storage and memory on the device.
What is a Blank PCB?
A Blank PCB is a bare PCB, devoid of any components.
It is a board PCB designers and PCB engineers are fond of using.
When they do use it, it is for prototyping PCB assembly, or customizing PCBs.
Some of these are development boards or breadboard PCBs.
The internal material is copper, or copper cladding.
That is why it is sometimes called a copper clad PCB.
Usually, the raw material is FR4 material, when the Rigid PCB type is made.

What is a Blank PCB Composed of?
As a general rule, Blank PCBs are rigid types of PCBs.
Flexible PCBs can be bare ones, technically, also blank.
But the term “Blank” plus “Circuit Board or PCB” joined together refers to a rigid board.
For product prototyping, the PCB engineer needs to do the etching and the PCB layout.
Most of these tasks are done by hand or a PCB machine (milling).
You can also have a professional manufacturer do the PCB etching for you.
This depends on what your needs are as a customer.
What is it a Blank PCB Used for?
This kind of board has many uses given the variety of electronic devices currently on the market.
This PCB is applicable to the following uses:
- Designing battery/ AC-DC / adaptor applications
- Designing computer devices and computer parts
- Designing consumer devices like smartphones
- Industrial applications like power modules and the like
- Many others more
A highly skilled PCB manufacturer must deliver Blank PCBs while keeping in mind the crucial QC control measures.

Selecting a Manufacturer for Blank PCB


A superior PCB manufacturer must adhere to your requirements.
Products that can be used in a range of industries, such as consumer goods, computers, automobiles, and medicine—
All items must be carried by this manufacturer.
At PCBTok, the customer is king, so no matter how simple your question may seem, we will respond to it.
We can work together as a long-term partner for all of your PCB-related requirements,
We always have an open line of communication to serve you.
Blank PCB Fabrication
Blank PCBs are made using materials that are basically the same as all other PCBs. With this PCB, simple is best. The list below enumerates the basic materials that are necessary.
- Prepreg / PCB Core – it is usually FR4, but you might consider other materials like Rogers’ materials, High-Frequency materials, impedance control, etc.
- Laminate – sometimes this term is used interchangeably with prepreg, but it’s not exactly the same
- Copper Foil – can vary in thickness and size
- PCB Ink – like Taiyo Ink, used in LDI printing
As you can see, you can have a broad range of choice of Blank PCB type.
If you think about categorizing it by material.
It really depends on what kind of PCB you want to end up with.
But the main components that make it up are as follows:
Copper foil, PCB etching or layout, and PCB schematics.
You can use software such as Altium, Eagle or KiCad for completion of composition.
