Welcome to FAR Circuits! FAR Circuits is exclusively a manufacturer of Printed Circuit Boards for electronic projects that are used by the Amateur Radio and electronic hobby enthusiast. We supply boards in any quantity, but are geared toward low volume and individual circuit board users. We have been in business for over 35 years, and have boards in stock for most of the Ham projects published in QST, QEX, ARRL Handbook, the old Ham Radio, 73's, Amateur Radio Today, CQ, WIFB Designer Notebooks, Popular Electronics, QRPp, QRP Notebook, Communications Quarterly, Electronics Now, and others. FAR Circuits can supply board(s) for projects published in other magazines if the artwork is published in the article. The Printed Circuit Boards supplied are generally on G10 material, drilled and solder coated, and ready to be assembled. We maintain a small inventory of Integrated Circuits for some projects - please check the individual project listing for availability.

In addition to published projects, FAR Circuits offers a prototype service specializing on single-sided, and also non plated-through double-sided boards from Customer supplied artwork. FAR Circuits can also provide custom layout for printed circuit boards when required. We do layout of the foil sided(s), solder mask, and component legends, and documentation. Additionally, we offer a Confidential service for authors writing articles that may require a printed circuit board for their project. Please inquire for rates on custom projects; our Catalog of stocked boards is listed below. FAR Circuits will supply, upon request, a copy of the referenced publication article for $1.50 each in addition to PC board cost.
