Thought I'd ask, maybe this is just as obvious as it seems, or maybe there are some traps.
My project is something I would like to put in an enclosure. As such, there is a ZIF socket, a couple of LEDs, and a switch I would want to be on one side of the board, so they protrude through the cover, but other components, such as a power connector, resistors for the LEDs, would go on the opposite side. No, there would not be any major overlap where the component on one side would obscure the pins of the component on the other side. Or I suppose I could just make 2 boards and connect them together, there's nothing high speed that would cause problems with a few wires joining the two boards - maybe that's the easiest approach. Hmm, just thinking out loud typing this makes me realize putting parts on both sides is probably not the best way to handle this.
