These double-sided bare copper rectangles are useful for building Manhattan-style (deadbug) circuit prototypes. Each rectangle is made of FR4 PCB material with copper cladding on both sides. V-grooves milled inbetween each piece enable their easy separation by hand.

Using a copper clad board as a base and ground plane, smaller pieces of copper clad board can be glued down to serve as tie points for components. Solder component leads and wires directly onto the copper pads to create freeform circuit layouts without a conventional PCB. 

This form of circuit-construction enables creation of a continuous ground plane underneath the components; beneficial for high frequency and RF circuit prototyping by reducing noise and interference. Aside from the technical benefits, Manhattan-style circuit construction also has an interesting aesthetic appeal.

The copper has no surface treatment. Fine wire wool may be useful to remove surface oxidation shortly prior to use.

Delivery

Orders will be dispatched within one business day, using recycled packaging wherever viable.

By default, all orders are dispatched by Royal Mail Second Class/RM48. If your order is needed urgently, you are encouraged to select an upgraded postage option, such as First Class/RM24 or Royal Mail Special Delivery, during checkout.

Some areas of the UK have experienced a degraded level of service from the Royal Mail with deliveries as infrequently as once per week or worse. If you are currently affected by this, please contact me before ordering to discuss the possibility of using an alternative courier service.
