Kinsten Printed Circuit Board
Make your own PCB, quickly and easily.
More than 25 years of proven performance.
Kinsten PCB prototyping is renowned for high quality printed circuit boards and ease of use. The photo-resist is machine applied producing an even coating to enable consistent results.
Many schools, universities, electronic developers and hobbyists use Kinsten, to get repeatable, excellent results.
Kinsten photo-resist is known for its wide tolerance of processes users like to employ. It is recommended to use Kinsten UV exposure boxes & etch tanks with Kinsten PCB.
Paper Phenolic Presensitised PCB
Suitable for prototyping, educational and low volume applications.
Fibre-glass Presensitised PCB
Good electrical and physical characteristics, robust with good di-electric strength.
Fibre-glass Presensitised PCB
Good electrical and physical characteristics, robust with good di-electric strength.
PCB without photoresist
Used where photoresist is not required, or the user wants to apply their own resist. Has been used for ground-planes.
Ideal for processing Kinsten PCB
Freight regulations limit where we can send chemicals. Information is given so you can locally source the develop & etch chemicals.
For laser or inkjet printing
Improve artwork printing to give high quality image transfer to the photoresist by printing at higher UV contrast.
Digital timer & vacuum table included
230 × 380mm exposure area. Designed for use with Kinsten PCB, it can also be used for other applications that require UV transfer.
UV LED array box with dial timer
Details of the circuit and construction are shown if you wish to use the design as the basis of your own lightbox design.
For single or double sided PCB
Optional heater and air bubbler pump to speed etching process. Transparent tank to see when both sides of the PCB have completed etching.
Stainless steel cutting blades
Kinsten KC-168S is an easy and accurated method of cutting PCBs, superior to hacksawing or score & snap. Replacement blades are available.
Superior for drilling fiberglass PCB
Available in boxes of 10 bits or 50 bits. Carbide drill bits stay sharper than HSS drill bits commonly found in hobbyist shops.
Vibrant insulation colors
30AWG (0.255mm, 0.01" diameter) or 26AWG (0.405mm, 0.0158" diameter) in 10 different colors.
Shipping Cost & Delivery Time
Unless specifically written on the price table, prices don't include freight.
Quoted delivery times are estimates. There are many factors affecting delivery times, especially customs clearance times. It is the purchasors responsibilty to complete all necessary requirements to fulfil their local import regulations.
Orders are shipped from Taiwan. Some orders require to be shipped in multiple cartons, or from more than one shipping depot.
Shipping Methods
Freight Considerations 2020
There have been significant changes to freight transport.
Notably, most services reject chemicals (DP50 developer & EB750 etchant) as general cargo or for post. They have to be sent as Dangerous Goods. We don't offer this service.
While the situation is improving, some orders experience longer than quoted delivery times. This is outside of our control.
Taiwan EMS & International Parcel Post service have limited destinations at this time, and the accepted countries vary according to post office discretion at the time of despatch.
DPEX Courier
We currently find this to be the most economical with availablity to most regions and recommend this service. DPEX delivery time is typically 3-10 days from despatch. Tracking is available for all DPEX deliveries.
EMS Courier
Where available, EMS delivery is generally 3 to 7 days from despatch, but some countries will take longer due to incoming customs delays. Tracking is available for all EMS deliveries.
International Parcel Post
Parcel post can be used when delivery time is not critical, at a lower cost.
Air Post delivery time can vary from 7 days to 45 days from despatch, but is typically delivered within 30 days.
SAL (Surface Air-lifted) Post delivery time is typically 20-45 days from despatch, but is only available to limited destinations.
Surface Post is usually the lowest cost, but not available to all destinations. Typical delivery times are 45 to 120 days from despatch.
Other Courier Services (DHL, Fedex, UPS etc.)
If you require this service, you must specify your own account accepting all freight charges ex shipping depot.
Air & Sea Freight
We can offer FOB (Free on Board) for orders shipped from Taiwan with a value greater than USD7,000. If the order value is less, there will be an additional charges to cover documentation and internal freight cost.
Country & Region Options
Please ensure you select the correct shipping region and country when options are available. Incorrect selection may delay or cancel the order.
There are some countries we cannot accept orders from, due to commercial restrictions.
Some equipment is for use on mains voltage. Please make sure that you choose the appropriate voltage for the location where the equipment will be used. It is not possible or reasonable for Kinsten or its employees to be aware of the correct mains voltage for your intended usage region.
Prices do not include any clearance fees, landing fees, duty, taxes or other charges payable in the destination country. If documentation other than the commercial invoice (example - import permit or consular certification) is required, additional charges will apply.
It is not possible or reasonable for Kinsten or its employees to be aware of any restrictions or regulations on importing items in to any country or region. It is solely the buyers responsibility and cost to ensure items are able to be imported into their selected destination country. Orders are despatched at the buyers risk.
