• DIY electronics, hobbyist projects, and custom electronic applications

Instructions for Use:

1. Design Preparation: Start by drafting a detailed schematic of your circuit. Plan the layout to make effective use of the 15x20 cm area and leverage the double-sided design for efficient routing.

2. Component Layout: Position your electronic components on the PCB according to your design. Utilize the grid pattern for accurate placement and alignment, ensuring that all components fit within the board dimensions.

3. Soldering: Solder the components onto the PCB. Use a fine-tip soldering iron to achieve clean, precise solder joints. Carefully inspect for and correct any solder bridges or cold solder joints.

4. Testing: After soldering, visually inspect the board for any issues. Use a multimeter to check for continuity and functionality to ensure the circuit operates as intended.

5. Board Finishing: If needed, use PCB etching solutions to adjust the copper layout or remove excess copper. Clean the board with isopropyl alcohol to remove flux residues and ensure a clean, professional finish.

6. Integration: Mount the completed PCB into your project enclosure or integrate it into your system. Verify that all connections are secure and the PCB is properly positioned and installed.

Safety Tips:

• Handle the PCB with clean hands to avoid contamination.
• Wear safety goggles and work in a well-ventilated area when soldering to avoid exposure to fumes.
• Follow appropriate disposal methods for any chemicals used during the etching process.
