PCB materials

[Mihai N. (nedix)]

Hello,
Does anyone know another (physical, not online) electronics shop in the 
Dusseldorf area other than Conrad?
Not only they are quite expensive but they don't have too many products 
for PCBs on stock.
BR,
Mihai

There are not many left over. They all died the last 10-15 years.

Exactly for Düsseldorf i do not know, because i am too seldom there.

But there at least two in the Region:

In Duisburg:
Urban Elektronik
http://www.elur.de/
Eduard Urban Elektronik GmbH
Kaiser-Friedrich-Str. 127
47169 Duisburg

In Moers:
Nürnberg Elektronic
http://www.nuernberg-electronic.de/
Nürnberg Electronic Vertrieb
Uerdinger Straße 121
47441 Moers

There might be a few more, but all very small, and at last, too much PC 
equipment or too much audiophilic equipment.

Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately driving to Duisburg and back will cost the same as 
ordering the products online from Reichelt. I just miss the old days 
where you could go in an electronics shop and actually see the 
components and most importantly you don't have to wait for the shop to 
order them. I find it peculiar that Conrad is selling all sorts of PCBs 
but doesn't have the chemicals for developing and etching on stock. 
Plus, I couldn't find (yet) anything else but Natrium Persulfat, no 
FeCl3 or HCl. It's safer indeed with Natrium persulfat but it's slow 
like crazy.


On a funny note, every time I go shopping to Conrad with my girlfriend I 
feel it like a small and personal revenge for all the waiting when she 
is browsing the clothes shops :)

For both you can go to a pharmacy and for FeCl3 you could check out some 
art-related stores. FeCl3 is often used for etching art.
