oneboard

Oneboard refers to a type of single-sided printed circuit board where all electronic components are mounted on only one side of the board. This contrasts with typical double-sided boards that accommodate components on both the top and bottom surfaces. The primary advantage of a oneboard design is its simplicity in manufacturing and assembly. Placing components on a single plane can streamline automated placement processes, potentially reducing production time and cost, especially for less complex circuits. It can also lead to a more robust and less fragile final product as components are less exposed to physical damage. However, the space limitation on a single side restricts the density of components that can be integrated. This means that oneboard designs are generally suitable for simpler electronic circuits or applications where space is not a critical constraint and component count is relatively low. They are often found in basic electronic devices, certain types of sensors, or as developmental prototypes where ease of modification and visibility of components is beneficial. The choice to use a oneboard design is typically dictated by a trade-off between component density requirements, cost, and manufacturing considerations for a specific application.
