Jidis Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Hi, I'll be running out of copper over the next week or so. There are some great deals on .025 single-sided boards, but what I'm used to looks to be in the .062" range. Has anyone used that thin one a lot, and is it OK even for boards which directly support pots or buttons (with standoff bolts to the panel or chassis)?-Thanks!  George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambinator Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Hi!I used 0,8mm PCBs (which is 0.03'') to build smartcards back in the days of analogue pay-tv. they still were to thin for the card-slot in my decoder and I had to glue some hardpaper onto them. they are very flexible and easy to bend if they are from the same material as mine (from bungard). I would definetely not recommend them to support mechanical parts like buttons.cheersrambinator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jidis Posted September 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Thanks! I was afraid of that. I guess if I get a bunch of cheap boards, I probably should at least go with something thick enough for multiple projects. I'll probably go .062.-take care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
