double-sided printed circuit boards - how to make them yourself

double-sided printed circuit boards elektor september 1984 Few electronic hobbyists today have any qualms about making printed circuit boards. Building a project on a printed circuit board is much easier than using Veroboard or something similar, wiring is kept to a minimum and fault finding is greatly simplified. The project also takes on a far more professional appearance. These plus points make it worth while to etch printed circuit boards. In general this is quite straightforward and, as the process is well known, we will not go into it here. Double-sided boards, on the other hand, are quite a different matter. double-sided printed circuit boards how to make them yourself Double-sided printed circuit boards are quite commonly used in electronics, par- ticularly in HF, where one side acts as an earth plane, or in circuits where a large number of connections between various components have to be made in a rela- tively small area (such as computers). Making these boards is someth...
