Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Plated Thru Hole at Home

2002-03-06 by Hans

I've been interested  the subject of plated through holes for a long
time, however the cost of making 2 sided PCB's is so low it is not worth
the effort to start the mess with chemicals and plating tanks, not least
getting rid of old chemicals can become a problem.

Example: Two boards of Two Sided board with through plated holes, LPI
mask and silk screen, any size upto 64 square inches. $33.00 (thirty
three US dollars) per board total cost $66.00 no tooling charges, there
are a few limitation on drill sizes the smallest is 20 mil. Plus
freight... Five days turnaround.
