This tank is large enough to support the ammenities, such as a heater and an aerator. It is large enough for almost any home printed circuit board manufacturing job. The materials list includes only c...
This is not my first vertical tank. It was designed after the large etching tank elsewhere on the site. There was one thing I hadn't considered. Well, one that comes to mind. The problem is in the siz...
DesignSpark PCB software is free, but you have to register it. It is used by Advanced Circuits PCB Artist, at least in a down-level version, but it outputs plot files for Gerber, printer, plotter, PDF...
This company specializes in low-cost fast-turnaround prototypes, but does production work, too. In comparison with others, the production price is very reasonable. The quality is good, and deliviery v...
This is not intended to be a tutorial on every piece of PCB software available. It is more a verbose listing of available software. This PCB design software is generally Windows compatible, and has be...
PCB etchant solutions are by definition and purpose nasty. They eat metal. They give off toxic fumes. They can stain. They contain metal that can only be called toxic waste, and should be treated as s...
NOTE: Your laser printer was designed to have laser printer paper run through it. A printer will have some latitude in the type of material that can be run through it. Your specific laser printer may ...
Photolithography and PhotoresistPhotolithography is the word applied to the process of using photographic or optical means to produce a photoresist mask for a printed circuit board. Photolithography a...
If you need to make a printed circuit board in a hurry, and you don't care what it looks like, a resist pen is a reasonable choice. They typically lay down a 1/16" line (Sharpie 13601), although they ...
PCB tinning is the process of depositing a very thin layer of tin, for the purpose of protecting the copper from oxidation. Oxidation on copper makes it more difficult to solder. Keep in mind, though,...
PCB Etching is as simple as immersing it in the etchant solution and agitating it to keep sludge from inhibiting further etching. This can be done in plastic or glass trays, vertical etching tanks, or...
A PCB is used to connect electronic components electrically. This is done by making conductive path ways for circuit connections by etching tracks from copper sheet laminated onto a non-conductive sub...
Before it can be used, the blank circuit board must be clean. Immaculately clean. No dust, or fingerprints, or specks of oil, and no oxide layer. It is best to do this immediately before making the ci...
The method depends on the software used, and the type of finished artwork desired. I run Linux, so I have Windows XP in a VM to run ExpressPCB. By nature of the application, the bottom layer is always...
A printed circuit board, or PCB, is a self-contained module of interconnected electronic components found in devices ranging from common beepers, or pagers, and radios to sophisticated radar and compu...
PCB Fabrication ProcessPCB's may be made by any of a number of processes. This explains some of them in detail - not just professional methods, but also methods you can use at home. There are links to...
>> PCB manufacturing Process in PCBWayPrinted Circuit Boardpcb DESIGNDesigning of a pcb is a major slip in the production of pcbs. It forms adistinct factor n electronic perfomance and...
Prototyping has become far more difficult than it was in the old days. For one thing, electronic components have gotten smaller; an IC can now be the size of a peppercorn or a grain of sand. As a resu...
In most companies, RF design has been something that happened in a different lab, or even a different location, by some engineers doing some rather peculiar circuit design. Tools have developed over t...
