Plated through panel holes

[analogoutput]

@Arie had the same problem with the Hero VCO:

Hero and Sidekick VCOs

I’m trying to get this fabbed at JLC. They replied with a comment about the holes for the jacks in the panel. Weirdly, they do not have a similar complaint about the sidekick panel 'The plating hole in your file is bigger than 6.3mm, there is the possibility of tin blasting holes when using HASL. Would you please select one of the following options? 1.Proceed with HASL and accept the risk wihtout complaint 2.Switch from HASL to ENIG surface finish to avoid defective plated slots.’ [100002…

I haven’t gone through the process of changing over all my older designs to the newer footprints, but I’ve now changed the Hero and Sidekick VCOs.

If you’d like me to convert another project please let me know. (I can’t guarantee to do it immediately though.)

And if there are any problems with the new Hero and Sidekick versions let me know that too.
