Design

The Physics Electronics Shop designs and consults on analog and digital electronic instruments for research or instructional purposes.

Designs can be submitted in person or electronically.

We encourage clients from other UW units, and will provide pre-design consulting to discuss the electronics (commercial, custom-made, or a combination of both) required to do what you need.

Construction Assistance

Physics Electronics Shop staff can help you build your own electronics equipment, providing consultation and specialized facilities.

We have a stock of common (and some uncommon) electronics parts available, including resistors, capacitors, rectifiers, transistors, ICs, connectors, cable, and more.

Four electronics work benches fully equipped with tools and test  and measurement equipment can be used by UW students, staff and faculty for construction or repair tasks,  under Shop staff supervision.
