    Hiya.

    I'm working on projects and need 1/32" copper-coated PCB (printed circuit board) in 3X5" or 4X6" size. Does anyone have a source? I've spent way too much time on Google checking out sites that either have no int'l. shipping, a $50 minimum purchase, and/or $30 shipping to Japan. Talk about frustration!

    The projects are mainly for light-units and tender pick-up experiments. Yeah, I know I can buy the light-units from Atlas but almost $5 for a lil piece of PCB, a bulb/LED, and a diode is outrageous IMVHO.

    Any info would be appreciated. Regards,

    No Japanese equivalent to Radio Shack?
    Check your email for alternative option.

    At first, I thought you wanted Polychlorinated Biphenyls... EPA's websites on PCB's..

    What about the major online electronics supply houses?

    Jim, have you tried All Electronics? All Electronics Their latest catalog I have shows Printed Circuit Boards (4"X6"-$2 & 6"X12"-$5), $6 shipping. They have loads of other stuff. I have ordered from them several times with no problems (I am in North Carolina).

    You can check here:
    pcb

    Are you sure there isn't anything in Japan? It's very odd to outsource to America for parts! :D :D

    I think Jim's problem will be the 1/32" thickness. The ones sold in stores like Radio Shack are 1/16".
