Mark, I would be interested in 2, one at a minimum.

I did a little thinking and checking and am going to have some built.  Probably 0.8 .. 1mm FR4 core, 15x35 mm, double sided 2 oz copper,  ENIG gold finish.   Anybody interested in some?   Fab cost goes down rather quickly with quantity.  Cost target is maybe $10 for 10 pieces shipped.    OSHPARK cost would be around $5 for three boards on 1.6mm, 1 oz copper. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- volt-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.

What is the advantage of doing it as a PCB? -Eric On Nov 8, 2017 4:14 PM, "randyevans2688" <randyevans2688@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Mark, > I would be interested in 2, one at a minimum. > Randy Evans > > > Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE smartphone > > -------- Original message -------- > From: Mark Sims <holrum@hotmail.com> > Date: 11/8/17 2:20 PM (GMT-08:00) > To: volt-nuts@febo.com > Subject: [volt-nuts] Banana jack shorting straps > > Recently on EEVBLOG there was a thread where a guy mentioned that he was > going to machine some shorting bars for banana jack out of copper.
