Ferric chloride is most commonly used for etching PCB boards. Mix the solvent with warm water and your etching solutions is ready. You can also store and re-use the solution.
Why ferric chloride is used in PCB etching?
Ferric chloride is a corrosive, acidic chemical compound that will eat away all copper on the board that is not protected by the marker’s ink. Pour a modest amount of ferric chloride into a plastic container with a lid; just enough to cover the board completely.
In Electronics, PCB Design is an essential part but ordering a PCB and getting it on time is a difficult one, especially for rapid prototyping purposes. Here comes the Ferric Chloride handy as it is useful to make hand-made PCB in no time.
This Ferric Chloride is an essential industry-grade chemical that is useful for PCB etching in a proper way without the corrosion on the connection routing. Use the right amount of ferric chloride and inadequate hot water and make PCB from copper-clad boards. Does not matter if it is single-sided or double-sided.
