Hi guys!
I am currently building Vedders anti-spark switch and came to an question:
As far as i'm concerned the only reason to do two-sided board is this connection:
Which is obviosly doable with jumper cable or even with trace on one-sided PCB, the kind of PCB that i can make easily (i can make even two-sided with a bit more hassle, but i can't metallize the holes)
But then I thought - maybe second reason is critical heatsinking of the MOSFET's through the PCB copper?
So the question is - Is there really a necessity for a two-sided board because heat dissipation of 5 square centimeters of copper, or can i get away with single-sided board?
