I'd like to echo Don Vischulis' and Dave Pizzoferrato's
comments regarding this thickness issue (Don: I think the
only place for measuring that you may have left out is "over
the connector fingers"). I see a couple of issues here:
1) Place for measurement is critical. Make sure the
fabricator knows. Please give us your finished
requirements. What the board measures before plating is of
no consequence to the end user.
2) Everything in life has a tolerance. To complain that you
want boards that are 1.55 to 1.60 mm (.061" to .063") thick
and you are receiving boards 1.70 to 1.77 mm (.067" to
.070") thick is unrealistic. State your nominal finished
thickness requirement (ex: 1.57 mm or .062"), where it is to
be measured, and allow a tolerance of +/-10% on 2 and 4
layer product, or +/-12% on 6+ layer product. Work closely
with your board fabricator, and over time these tolerances
can be tightened through experience with fabricating that
part.
