While trapping of electrons has been largely carried out in Penning traps for precision measurement purposes, it is desirable to use linear Paul traps instead, leaning on the successes of trapped ion quantum processors. Here we present a Paul trap for electrons made of a single printed circuit board. Our approach requires no assembly and the rigid design minimizes manufacturing intolerances. We characterize the trap performance and observe trapped electron lifetimes of 2.13 ms and secular frequencies of up to 90 MHz.
