Single Sided Boards In Stock - Fast Local PCB Supply for Makers & Techs

Local stock of single-sided boards when you need them

Get single-sided printed circuit boards and prototyping sheets available from our Samrand warehouse and Cape Town branch - ideal for student projects, small-scale production and quick repairs. We focus on availability and speed so you can finish builds on schedule, collect in-branch, or arrange account invoicing for departmental orders.

Why choose Communica for single-sided boards

• Local stock across multiple sizes and copper thicknesses to minimise lead times.
• Branch pickup from Samrand, Pretoria CBD or Cape Town for urgent requirements.
• Technical compatibility guidance and suggested accessory bundles (headers, connectors, solder, flux).

We stock common prototyping formats and blank copper-clad boards useful for etch or CNC milling, plus pre-patterned single-sided perf and matrix boards for hand-soldered builds. For an overview of our broader ranges and brands that pair well with PCBs, see our Collections page.

Quick specification callouts

When selecting a single-sided board, check these specs to avoid surprises:

Specification guidance and compatibility

If your design uses through-hole components, verify hole sizes and soldermask needs before ordering blanks. For PCB etching or milling, choose copper weight and substrate thickness that match your tooling. Our team can help with simple checks for compatibility and recommend accessory bundles such as solder wick, flux, and prototyping headers - check brands and parts on our Shop by Brand page.

Bundles, stock checks and branch collection

We make it simple to get what you need: order online and choose branch pickup, or request an account quote for departmental purchases. For immediate availability, Check Stock in Samrand or ask us to reserve boards for same-day collection. Our Branches & Trading Hours page lists branch hours and collection details so you can plan collection around lectures, workshops or shift schedules.

Accessory bundles and application notes

Common bundles to speed assembly include:

• Blank FR-4 boards + etch resist + ferric chloride (for etching workflows).
• Perf board + pre-tinned pads + header packs (for hand-soldered prototypes).
• Blank copper-clad + CNC clamps + isolation routing bits (for milling).

We also provide practical wiring diagrams and a simple example calculation: to estimate trace width for a 1 A signal on 35 µm copper, use standard trace calculators - for hand rules, a 1 mm wide trace is typically adequate on single-sided boards for low-current signals.

Objection handling and lead time transparency

Concerned about availability or delivery times? We publish stock levels online and can check live inventory for Samrand and other branches. For bulk or specialised thicknesses, lead times vary - we will communicate expected arrival windows and offer substitutes where appropriate. Need a formal VAT invoice for a university or company purchase? We support account orders and provide documentation for procurement teams.
