Datak Premier Series Positive-acting, pre-sensitized boards with a resist that responds to a standard Edison light bulb and develops flawlessly. Boards available in many sizes, copper on one or two sides. Most Premier boards are standard 1/16" thickness with one ounce of copper. New sizes include two ounce copper and the extra thin 1/32" thickness types. See the 14-series part numbers in the Datak catalog.  Premier boards are developed with a mild base solution and all of the developing materials may be flushed safely down your sink drain. (Developer is similar to the product Drano, but considerably diluted.) Dielectric Constant: 3.6 (at) 1 MHz.

Printed Circuit Instructions for Negative Acting Resist.

Datak Direct Etch dry-transfer decals. This series of decals can be "rubbed-down" direct ly on the copper to act as an etch resist. Patterns for all industry components are available. The patterns may also be used upon clear film or paper to create "positive" artwork.

Colors available too!  Resistant to oils and age; one size marker fits a vast range of wire sizes!

Datak Protoboards. Small to medium-large PC boards, drilled to 1/10" centers and ready for the mounting/soldering of electronic components for your experimental circuits. One side is the copper pattern; the component side is silk-screened so that you won't have to guess where the copper traces run.  Shown to your left is a small board for DIP IC's. There are different layouts for nearly any circuit imaginable. These boards are shown in both the Datak and Philmore catalogs under the Prototype Boards heading.

KITS, both useful and fun. DATAKITS are circuits for Do-it-Yourself assembly and the selection ranges from FM Microphone "bugs" to audio amplifiers, timers, remote IR relays, power supplies and more. Useful and educational; teachers will definitely want to consider these as classroom aids to teach fundamentals of soldering and circuits. Hobbyists and experimenter must see these. About 65 kits are available; with more on the way. See the Datakits in either the Philmore or Datak catalogs.
