HowTo: How to photo etch a PCB  (Russell Watson)


    << Previous Page       Page 1    Page 2    Page 3             

Step 11 : Cheat sheet


This is a cheat sheet I used. Print it out and take it with you for reference.


Step 12 : Installed components



Step 13 : Soldered components



Step 14 : Conclusion

If you are going to do this process, then take a look http://www.mgchemicals.com. Look at their instructions and at their video of the process. You do not need all of their tools to do it. There might be some different companies that sell this stuff and might have some different mixtures and times. Follow their instructions.

As I mentioned before this was my fist time etching a PCB. It was a very simple process to do if you feel comfortable using chemicals - give it a try. If I can do it so can YOU!

I would like to thank….

Drew Hickman
Robert Stark

for all of their help in the process of gathering info on etching and the making of SSR’s.

Step 15 : My little helper


When soldering the components to build the SSRs and building the control box on holidays, I had some helpers, a mom and two baby deer. They would eat right out of your hand. I tried to convince the mother to come and be part of the display but she didn’t think too much of it.
