What are primary and secondary sides of PCB?

I am designing a 2 layer PCB with components on both side of it. SMT components are one one side of PCB, but TH (door gat) components are on both sides. I need to understanding something mentioned by the supplier called primary and secondary sides.

De primary side is the side that has most of the components, especially the ICs. The most common soldering technique these days is reflow soldering. It is simply easier to get precision temperature profiles on one side of the board only.

De secondary side can also support components, but

  1. it’s harder to control the temperature precisely, en
  2. gravity works against you as the solder paste begins to melt and the components on the underside of the board want to fall off.

Does each process have its own PCB or there is just one?

To my understanding, each process in the operating system contains its own separate Process Control Block. Can someone explain this to me. Does each process have its own PCB or is there just one PCB that contains all the information for all the processes?

Wanneer moet ik kiezen 2 laag PCB of 4 laag PCB?

Our brand was focused on common electronic product with single PCB. And this year, we plan to develop a smart range which may require multiple layer PCB. Want to know more about 2 laag PCB of 4 laag PCB.
