Copper laminate isn't all the same! There is myriad of combinations of the type of base (fiberglass or paper) and copper weights.
Our "DirectETCH" process technique has adopted one specification to funnel all of these variables down to one type of fiberglass board (.032" thickness) and copper weight (1/2oz).
The specifications for this board is highlighted in BOLD to compare to others.
TYPE: | PLAIN vs. Photosensitized |
SURFACED: | SOLID vs. Universal (pre-drilled patterns) |
COPPER WEIGHT: | 1/2oz vs 1oz or 2oz |
THICKNESS: | .032" vs. .064" (older standard) |
LAMINATE: | FIBERGLASS vs. CEM (paper base) |
SIZES: | 8"x10" & 6"x8" vs, all other sizes from 2"x2" to 24" x 36" |
QUANTITY: | Pack of 2~4 Panels vs 1 |
MANUFACTURED: | Made In USA (Ohio) vs. most made in China |
If you have never used .032" thickness board on 1/2oz copper you're in for a real surprise.
• Fit more project in less space
• Plenty of regidity
• Easily cut with an ordinary paper cutter
• Etch in 1/2 the time (About 1 minute if you use our simple technique that doesn't even require an 'etching tank'! See how this is done here
• Less drilling dust generated
