Study Notes
Study Notes
- The document provides instructions for designing and creating printed circuits.
Aim
- The aim is to learn the design and practical construction of a printed circuit.
Theory
- Printed circuits are common in electronic devices like counters, radios, TVs, and computers.
- Complex circuits can be built on small boards, saving space.
- A circuit is drawn on a plastic sheet coated with copper (Cu).
- The circuit diagram is covered with waterproof pen ink.
- The sheet is dipped in FeCl3 (etching solution) to remove exposed copper.
- The waterproof ink protects the desired circuit pattern.
Applications
- Printed circuits are widely used in electronics.
- Microchips (miniaturized printed circuits) can be implanted in the body to enhance functions like hearing and vision.
Procedure
- After designing a circuit, the process of making the printed circuit begins.
- Clean a "plastic-Cu" sheet with a wet cloth and soap to remove rust.
- Transfer the circuit from paper to the "plastic-Cu" sheet using carbon paper and a suitable pen.
- Redraw the transferred circuit with a waterproof pen.
- Place the sheet in a hot, concentrated FeCl3 solution (3:1 water to FeCl3 ratio) while shaking to etch away unwanted copper.
- Wash and dry the printed board to prepare for soldering.
- Drill small holes (0.6-0.8 mm) at component locations.
- Solder the components and examine the circuit.
Safety and Precautions
- Avoid skin contact with FeCl3.
- Ensure the circuit diagram is accurately transferred to the plastic-Cu sheet before applying the waterproof layer.
- Make sure the waterproof layer fully covers the circuit pattern.
- Leave sufficient copper around drilling positions for soldering.
- Ensure the desired copper circuit remains after etching.
