Homemade circuit board
Ankit Rohatgi, July 2004
Introduction
One can make a crude circuit board for non-serious circuits from Aluminium foil and cardboard. Using this for
sensitive circuits is not reccomended.
Materials Required
Cardboard or Plastic Sheet (better). Make sure the cardboard or the plastic can withstand solder's heat for few seconds.
In any case, you'll have to solder really fast.
Aluminium foil or a thin Copper sheet. Make sure that the aluminium foil is not insulated by plastic lamination etc.
Glue
Scissors or a blade.
How to make it?
Simple. Just make the design on the metal sheet with a pen and cut it out with scissors. Paste this on the cardboard and
make the holes for components.
Notes
Solder with extreme care.
Make sure that the metal strips you cut are clean and broad.
This may not work!! This is not a reliable board. Even a general PCB would be better.
