I make many PCBs at home, using copper eyelets at the method for thru-holes. I used to buy them from Pulsar (formerly DynaArt), but they no longer sell them. They sent me to their supplier, but the price is now way too high. Does someone know where to get the copper eyelets, or does someone know a good quality alternative? Thanks dave

Hello, Not a direct answer, but htese guys DO have tin lined copper tubing, (but too big a diameter as std.... But they DO sell hypodermic tubing as well, so perhaps size could be negotiated<G> At any rate, it's a start http://www.phillips-johnston.com/prod_copper.html Hope this helps, Ballendo --- In Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com, JanRwl@A... wrote: > > In a message dated 10/8/2004 11:09:31 PM Central Standard Time, > dave@d... writes: > > Does someone know where to get the copper eyelets, or does someone > know a good quality alternative? > > > > Why copper?

Apparently Mouser sells them for $26 for 500. You can get one type for 10 cents per from Far Circuits: "EYLETS .055 OD .042 ID FOR DOUBLE SIDED BOARD THRU HOLES $0.10 EACH; OR YOU CAN BUY DIRECT FROM MOUSER AT $26.00 FOR A PACKAGE OF 500." http://www.farcircuits.net/misc1.htm info is a bottom of page. I haven't tried these, but Far Circuits is a ham who sells many ham-related PCB's at a very reasonable rate IMO. I assume he would know what works well. I have no connection to them.

Yep, thats them. The price is 14 cents each in 100 qty. I have asked them for a volume price at 20,000 pcs, I will need 2000 for me, and I can resell them to whoever else wants them. Hopefully the price will be under a dime. dave --- In Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com, Henry Carl Ott <carlott@i...> wrote:

Thanks, the supplier is actually International Eyelets. The price is 14 cents each in 100 qty.

Are these eyelets at Mouser too big for what people are looking for? If nothing else, they sure are cheap. Stock: 534-22 1/16 Tin plated brass ID: .045 OD: .059 Price Qty 1: .06 Qty 100: .028 Qty 500: .025 Qty 1000: .014 Alternatively, as someone mentioned, there are the .055 OD ones at Mouser also for $28.46 per 500. --- In Homebrew_PCBs@yahoogroups.com, "dave_needle" <dave@d...> wrote: > > Thanks, the supplier is actually International Eyelets.
