Yeah. I originally had the M (miniature) series caps in there, limited to 470uF each, then I discovered these, which are 820uF each for the same footprint. The whole power supply uses only a 1/2" stripe on the board. Those are Panasonic EEU-FC1J821L caps. > > The brass stencil thing worked well enough.

The openings for the 0.5mm pitch connecter were only 6mil already; my laser printer can't reliably print any smaller than that. The thing is, the brass is 5mil *thick* so by the time you etch all the way through, the etchant has had plenty of time to undercut the toner and do all sorts of weird things. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
