Abstract:
A PCB page blank includes a flexible substrate, a curable adhesive, a conductive layer, and a conductive layer support. The flexible substrate receives an opaque negative circuit pattern thereon. Portions of the curable adhesive not obscured by the circuit pattern may bond to portions of the conductive layer when exposed to light. The bonded portions of the conductive layer shear or tear from non-bonded portions of the conductive layer such that the bonded portions remain with the flexible substrate and the non-bonded portions remain with the conductive layer support when the flexible substrate and the conductive layer support are separated. The flexible substrate and the bonded portions of the conductive layer thus form a PCB prototype with the bonded portions of the conductive layer forming circuit traces of the circuit pattern.
