hi,
I am new to PCB design and have followed Robert's courses on PCB design with Altium
In the course "Starting with Altium Designer", I see that Robert places components on the bottom layer. This is surprising to me as I don't see this on some of the PCB that I work with in my company.
I guess that those PCB boards don't need to, but I wonder if the board would be better or worse when they were designed with components on the bottom layer.
so I have some following-up questions to learn how to do this in the future.
is it common to place components on the bottom layer?
when we should and should not place components on the bottom layer?
when placing components on the bottom layer, what I should be aware of and should not do?
Do you have any references or material to learn more about this?
thanks,
md
