How do you etch printed circuit boards?

How do you etch printed circuit boards?

Dissolve 2-3 teaspoons of ferric chloride power in the water. Dip the PCB into the etching solution (Ferric chloride solution, FeCl3) for approximately 30 mins. The FeCl3 reacts with the unmasked copper and removes the unwanted copper from the PCB. This process is called Etching.

How do you remove unwanted copper from a PCB?

Instructions

  1. Remove metals with silk screen printing.
  2. Use conductive ink on a non-conductive board to remove the unwanted copper.
  3. Photoengrave the PCB.
  4. Employ transparencies printed by a laser printer for most PCBs.
  5. Implement PCB milling to remove copper from the substrate.

Is sodium thiosulfate safe to use?

A new treatment reported for calciphylaxis, is the use of intravenous sodium thiosulfate. This inorganic salt is already used in the treatment of intoxication caused by cyanide, in patients with calcific nephrolithiasis and tumoral calcinosis, with very good and safe results.
