Electroless Copper Plating Chemical Kit
CAT. NO. 41600A
This kit is a key component of the
engineers to prototype circuit boards with copper plated through holes themselves, avoiding having to send their
designs to prototyping companies.
In the prototyping process, after drilling and de-burring the through holes in the copper clad board, the holes must be
“activated” before they can be electroplated with a normal copper electroplating process. Through-hole activation
entails making the walls of the through holes conductive, because only conductive surfaces can be electroplated. The
electroless plating process achieves this by applying a thin layer of copper to the inside of every hole. This layer is not
sufficient to carry the circuit in the completed circuit, but it is enough to electrplate to.
Some of the chemicals in this process pose significant safety hazards and disposal challenges; and for that reason this
process is for professional use only.
See the instructions for the MG Chemicals Professional Prototyping Process
procedure.
This kit contains sufficient chemicals to plate through-holes on five 5” x 3” double sided copper clad boards (150
inches total surface area). Once mixed, solutions last for two days.
