4 How to make Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

Materials:
photo-paper
ferric chloride
plastic container
electrical or masking tape
electric-iron


Steps in making your  PCB:

printing using photo-paper

1. Using photo-paper print your circuit diagram  using laser printer or any printer that uses toner as ink.
If you dont have laser printer, print your circuit diagram in any printer using bond paper.Then photocopy the printed bond paper in photocopier machine using the photo-papar

making sure pcb doesn't move

2.Clean the copper pcb bord and place the printed side to the copper side of pcb board. Place electrical tape or masking tape to avoid movement.

3.Iron the photo-paper  and remove the photo-paper when the print sticks on the copper

dissolving non-printed copper in pcb

4. Pour ferric chloride to plastic or cermic container and place the pcb on it. wait untill the non-printed side of copper dissolves.

5.Rinse the pcb with water and dry.
6. You can start drilling holes and solder electronic parts in it.
