Why buy double-sided boards in wholesale from Communica
Get practical, locally available double-sided printed circuit boards (PCBs) that move your projects from breadboard to robust assembly. We focus on availability, predictable lead times and the right specs for education, makers and light production runs - so you can order bulk quantities with confidence and collect locally from Samrand or a branch near you.
Stock depth and value beyond price
Buying wholesale is more than a unit price: it’s consistency of thickness, copper weight, drill finish and turnaround. Communica keeps common configurations in stock - standard 1.6mm FR4, 0.8mm thin boards for compact devices, and popular copper weights (1oz and 2oz) - so your procurement team avoids repeated qualification cycles. Check general availability on our All Products index or review category options in Shop by Category.
Specification callouts to include on purchase orders
When requesting a quote, include these practical spec items to avoid back-and-forth delays: board thickness (mm), copper weight (oz), surface finish (e.g., HASL, ENIG if available), minimum trace/space, board outline method (V-score, routed), and required panelisation. Communica can advise on likely lead times for atypical finishes - ask the team when you double-sided boards quote.
Quick spec comparison
Use this compact table to pick the right baseline board for your use case:
| Variant | Typical use | Common specs |
|---|---|---|
| Standard FR4 | Production prototypes, robust builds | 1.6mm, 1oz copper, routed |
| Thin FR4 | Handheld devices, stacked boards | 0.8mm, 1oz copper, micro-vias optional |
| Heavier copper | High-current traces, power stages | 1.6mm, 2oz copper, larger pads |
