<ここでは自作地震計用の3ch増幅回路基板を例にとる>
This circuit is a 3ch amplifier for our hand-made seismographs.

1.基板パターンの印刷(Laser Printing of circuit patterns)

レーザプリンタで,基板図をPress-n-Peelに印刷する.必ずトナーを使うのが重要.また図は部品面から見た図であることに注意.なぜなら次の熱転写により裏返される.
Print the circuit pattern on the Press-n-Peel with black toner using a laser printer. The schematic pattern is from parts side, not bottom side.
Because the pattern is reversed at the next transfer stage.



Upside center: printed on Press-n-Peel
Bottom center: raw circuit boards

2.熱転写(Thermal printing)
アイロンでシートのトナーを基板上に熱転写する.
Toner pattern is thermal transferred on a raw circuit board using an iron.


Strong pressure is need.


部分的に転写できていない箇所がある.
The process is not completed at some areas.


転写が失敗したパターンをあとて油性マジックペンで,書き足す.マジックの塗料を塗り重ねること.薄いとエッチング時に銅箔が溶ける.
Missing patterns are corrected using a oilier felt pen. Make thick layer of paint, or the copper cover will be solute at the etching process. 


パターン修正終了.
Completed fixing patterns.

2.エッチング(etching)

塩化第二鉄溶液 Ferric chloride aqua(20-30%)40-50℃ を用意して,その中に基板を10分から20分浸す.露出した部分の銅箔がすべて溶けだせば終了.
Prepare ferric chloride aqua(20-30%)40-50℃, and soak the boards for 10 to 20 minutes until the all exposed copper foils are solute.


エッチング溶液の準備.塩化第ニ鉄90gを水300mlに溶かした.
Preparation of solution aqua. Ferric chloride 90g with 300ml water.


Keep 40-50℃ in the water bath until all exposed copper foils are solute.


Washing under running water.


Remove the toner and film with a stainless scrubber.


Paint flux on the surface to prevent rusting.

4.穴あけ(Drilling)

直径1mmのドリルで穴を開ける.


Drilling 1mm holes.
