Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: Plated through holes and rinsing ?

Hello Markus!

Your station is most excellent! Questions:

1.) What/who's chemistry are you using?
2.) How many volts/amps do you? Are you
using a formula to calculate
voltage/amperage verses board size?
3.) What is the composition of your anodes
and what is thier weight/size?


Before I saw what you had done, I had already begun
construction of a similar thru-hole plating system.
Like you, I came to the conclusion that what I needed
was a station that was built on time tested
technology. In other words, I wanted to build a
smaller version of
what large companies use to thru-hole plate (In fact,
all of the tools/fixtures/equipment I have made are
based on proven industry technology).

Currently, I have the tank, card holders and
circulation system completed. I still have
build/engineer the rectifier (power supply), purchase
anodes and descide on a chemistry. My plan is to
complete this station, work the kinks/problems out and
then build a tinning station.

Your station is of professional quality. Further,
I am impressed (Not that it really matters...).
FWIW, you may want to cross post/link your station
to:

Best regards
