Making Printed Circuit Boards
As an electronics hobbiest, I've been making printed circuit boards
for many years. I use a simple process which is relatively
inexpensive to set up and yields boards of reasonable quality. This
process is only practical for making a very low volume of printed
circuit boards, such as an occasional prototype.
Keeping the limitations of the process in mind,
maybe this information will be useful.
I've been intending to write these web pages, with nice photos,
for a year years now... maybe someday I'll actually do it.
Fortunately,
Injectorall
has written a pretty nice page that describes how to do it. Their
instructions are more or less similar to how I do it.
Process Steps
- Print layout artwork
- Apply photoresist to the board
- Expose photoresist
- Develop
- Etch
- Drill
- Tin Plate
