Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Re: DIY Gold Fingers? shim brass

2016-11-04 by Rob

I don't know what the need is for gold for your application but I have 
used shim brass as a heavy wear contact point
to mate chassis to boards.
Thin brass  sheets are available at hardware stores in various 
thicknesses in sheets about the size of 3x5 cards
in the window and door department. Its used behind door hinges to set 
the hinge in the perfect place.
