| + | Important note: | ||
| + | Manufacturing capabilities can be found on the manufacturers websites, that includes tracks sizes clearances and so on. | ||
| + | In the university we can produce only significantly larger track sizes with with 0.8 / 0.7 mm minimum as well as to keep in mind that THT components pads are not connected internally. | ||
