Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Metalized holes

From: Neil <cobra_neil@...>

Alrighty folks,

Been busy for the past couple days, but I've come back with (hopefully) some
good news.... a source for eyelets....
http://www.circuittechctr.com/products/115-7000.htm

They're not cheap (~$30 per 100), but if I continue to use my existing
technique of designing boards so that they require very few plated-thru
holes, this might solve the problem for the few holes that do require plating
thru.

Some technical details on the press tool...

Other good description of usage...
http://www.circuittechctr.com/guides/5-3.htm

Also some great info on PCB repair...

Peruse the site -- there's lots of good info there.

Cheers,
-Neil.
