Hello All, 

Our power system suppliers build single-sided pcb with paper-based substrates, the holes on the pcb are non-plated and no solder fill for through-hole component.  As I know, paper-based substrates are generally used for the pcb build of low-cost, low-reliability, consumer products.

Our company sells CLASS 2 networking products, which are supposed to work in harsh environment. Is it reliable enough to use such single-sided power assembly? Thanks a lot for kindly input.

Best Regards
Charming Chan
