Dear Paul Noonan,
Paul Noonan <[log in to unmask]> on 2001-06-21 03:47:50 AM passed on the
confusing story:
>I have been fed so many
>different stories from different board shops, one in particular is saying
>that people only ever ask for 20 Microns, .0008" and that this is adequate ,
>other board shops are telling me that they always provide thicker plating
>than this.
...
>Paul Noonan
This might not be inconsistent.
If people ask board shops for what they want:
Finished hole tolerances:
c. Plate through hole minimum copper wall thickness 20 um ( .0008" )
NOTE: Hole diameters apply after plating.
but the board shops always provide thicker-than-minimum plating,
then everyone should be happy.
My company still hasn't converted to metric, so most of our specs still say
Finished hole tolerances: (IPC-6011 & IPC-6012)
c. Plate through hole minimum copper wall thickness .001"
I doubt that makes any real difference.
