Product Description
The 4x4 Inches Phenolic Single Sided Copper Clad Board is a foundational material for electronics prototyping and custom circuit fabrication. This board consists of a high-quality phenolic resin-bonded paper base laminated with a thin layer of pure electrolytic copper on one side. Unlike pre-drilled perf-boards, this "plain" board allows engineers and hobbyists to design completely custom trace layouts. It is optimized for traditional DIY PCB fabrication methods, including toner transfer, UV exposure, and manual permanent-marker masking. Its 4x4 inch size provides ample surface area for medium-sized projects like power supplies, motor drivers, or multi-stage analog filters.
Key Features
High Bond Strength: The copper layer is securely laminated to the phenolic base, preventing "pad lifting" during high-temperature soldering or desoldering.
Easy to Cut: The phenolic material is softer than FR-4 fiberglass, allowing it to be easily cut to size using a standard PCB shear, a fine-toothed hacksaw, or even a heavy-duty utility knife score-and-snap method.
Excellent Solderability: The bare copper surface accepts solder readily once cleaned, ensuring low-resistance joints for high-current applications.
Cost-Effective Prototyping: Ideal for students and educators, providing a professional-grade etching experience at a fraction of the cost of fiberglass boards.
Uniform Thickness: Precision-manufactured to ~1.5mm thickness, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB standoffs and enclosure slots.
