PCB Fab that allows plated slots and > 1oz copper in USA
« on: July 09, 2014, 02:23:16 am »
Anyone know of a good and reasonably priced PCB fab house that will allow plated slots and (not required but a bonus) can do 2 or even 4oz copper?
I almost always use OSHPark and have been super happy but any time I do a plated slot they just turn it into a huge circle and they will only do 1oz copper.

I have used itead, and they have happily reproduced a plated slot that was un-intentionally part of a library part (only needed to be a slot, but came with pads..) it was 4mm x 12mm and was properly through plated,

Not in the US but Itead and Elecrow both do plated slots. Itead also offers 2oz copper.

Both also do DHL.

We have just fabricated a series of almost 6 ounce sample boards for a client here in Brisbane , Australia.

Used 0.2mm thick copper sheet and laminated it it to 0.7 and 1.6mm  FR4 single sided stock to produce the necessary base material which was then mechanically structured.

smart-prototyping is doing plated slots by default, min slot is 0.8 mm IIRC.

Used them a lot, they have a nice deal where you can get an 11x17" panel, lay out whatever boards you want on it, and get it for like $300 shipped (2-layer)
