These are the types of boards I'm most likely to make at home.  Just
design one, put four to six copies on a small panel, and etch them.
Choose the best resulting board.  I use resistor lead trimmings for
"legs" (they're smaller than 0.025" sq posts).

0.5mm pitch is only 10 mil rules, you should be able to do that at
home.
