DIY PCB manufacture - through hole plating

Michael · 2005-04-20T15:42:50+00:00

Hi all,I've started making my own PCBs at home, and have been having great fun-- until I've run into problems with making through-hole components andplating vias. I've had a look at a lot of sites, and there seems to bea lot of information, such as on this one:Now, I've seen mention of this "Multicore Copperset" system, but forthe life of me, I can't seem to find anywhere that has it in stock - itseems to be a discontinued line. Alternatively, I'm trying to find justthe 'bail bar' refills, and I can try to do it myself, but I'm havingtrouble finding anywhere that stocks them, too.Failing that, I can always fall back to these linking pins, but thatseems like a bit of a waste to me - I may as well stick some solid-corecopper wire through the hole and solder it both sides - it seems towork just as well. :-)Does anyone have any ideas? I'm at a bit of a loss for any other ideason how to (easily) plate through holes.Cheers, and thanks for any help,Michael

Hmm. It would be rather something like "Heh, c'est trop cool ! ça déchire trop !" etc.

"le pied" applies mostly to the situations when one experiences a strong pleasure; the classic expression is "prendre son pied" which traces back to the XIXth century where it meant receiving her/his own share of pleasure during a sexual act
