Printed Ckt Board Types of PCB (I) Single Side (II) Double Side (III) Multi Layer (V) Flexible PCB * Single Side ( 1 layer ) :- The insulating substrate contains ckt pattern on only one side. Which is called as solder side. The other side is called component side. * Double Side (2 layer) :- Double side means the ckt pattern is present on the either side of the insulating material ckt pattern both on component side & solder side. * Flexible Cards :- Flexible

manufacturing costs that Stryker would have due to producing the PCBs in-house. The difference between the decreased purchases and the costs incurred from manufacturing represented excess cash flow freed up from insourcing the product. The difference between decreased purchases and manufacturing costs were actually negative in 2004 and 2005 and were not recognized as positive cash flows until 2006 when decrease in purchased from suppliers exceeded Stryker’s manufacturing costs for the PCBs. Those costs savings
