- 200
eyelets
- one piece 6" x 12" x 1/16" thick glass-epoxy card stock
- hand staking tool
- drill bit
- permanent
marker
This
package allows you to make your own circuit cards (also
known as eyelet boards). Clear instructions explain how
to lay out your own circuit, how to install eyelets with
the hand staking tool, and how to mount components.
The
advantages of eyelet construction include allowing servicing
of the completed assembly from one side of the card -
unlike a printed circuit board which requires access to
both sides, or a turret board which requires unwrapping
of component leads for removal or replacement of parts.
Enough
material is included in this kit to make cards for a preamp,
power amp, power supply, reverb, and switching circuit - essentially any conventional guitar amp circuit.
For your reference, one piece of card stock and 200 eyelets is typically enough to build a conventional amp (e.g., Plexi, Deluxe, etc.). Two pieces of card stock and approximately 400 eyelets are needed to build the Standard Amp project from TUT5.
Once
you build your first circuit card, you will never build
any other way!
CCK comes with comprehensive notes including layout tips, eyelet installation instructions, and advice on cutting the card material and on soldering.
