Thin Copper Clad?

2005-11-19 by Jim Miller

What's the thinnest copper clad material folks have successfully worked with? What are the issues with working with boards as thin as 0.005"? I found this stuff on Digikey. 

Are there good online sources of PCB material which are cheaper for thin material? 

I don't have a specific min or max thickness spec I need to work to but just thought that it would be nice to keep the board as thin as possible for portable applications.

tnx
jim
