MG Chemicals 506 Copper Clad Board
Overview
The 506 is a single-sided copper clad board designed for rapid PCB prototyping and small-scale production. It features a 1/16 inch thick FR4 laminate base with 1 oz copper cladding on one side, providing a durable substrate for custom circuit fabrication. The material is UV-blocking and meets UL and IPC-4101C/21 standards for safety and quality.
Why Choose This Part
This board uses a DICY-cured FR4 system that is easy to cut and drill without requiring specialized industrial equipment. The 1 oz copper thickness provides a reliable balance between current-carrying capacity and ease of etching for fine-pitch traces.
Applications
Getting Started
To use this board, clean the copper surface with steel wool or a dedicated cleaner before applying a resist through toner transfer or photo-resist methods. After etching with ferric chloride or ammonium persulphate, drill component holes using a carbide PCB drill bit and 0.8mm to 1.0mm diameters for standard headers.
