Does Mouser sell single sided copper PBCs?  I need one that is at least 2.75" x 4.25".  My local Radio Shack sells only double-sided copper.  I figured if Mouser does carry them, they would be cheaper.  If someone could point me in the right direction (with part numbers, if possible) I would really appreciate it.

try this:  go to mouser.com and type "copper board" into their search engine.  lots of cool options, including presensitized boards.  :icon_biggrin:

One more quick question:  I'm going to be cutting these; should I pay the extra $.50 and get the 1/32" board, or stick with the 1/16"?  I figured that I'll just be scoring with an x-acto and snapping them into pieces, and 1/16" would be fine for this.  Any thoughts?

Go with 1/16", you'll be fine. You can send me the extra 50 cents. :)
I love the smell of solder in the morning.

hi

I don't understand a thing about pc boards, so excuse my ignorance.
What is a "presensitized " board?

it means it's been coated with unexposed photo-resist.

I started out with nothing... I still have most of it.
