#106270 - A clarification
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Dear Andy,
All your interconnects - Vcc, signals, etc - go on the top copper, and connections are soldered on top.


In single sided designs, I would solder components on bottom layer. Also, no plating-thru-hole is possible. In this case, I am assuming an answer:

The components will be inserted from the bottom layer(which has the solid ground) and solder them on the top layer, as you have said:

On the bottom layer, solder connections to ground. For pins that do not connect to ground, simply drill a clearance hole in the bottom copper


And I have to make sure that no bare terminal of any component touches the ground plane.

Am I right?

Cheers,
Vignesh

PS: Just now enquired with my local supplier. Single sided boards are available with pre-cut sizes of 4x4", 6x4",... but double sided glass epoxy is at 1x1 feet! Oh no, I have to cut them.
