But any board house doing the normal multilayer FR4 type PCB should be able to do 10 thou track 10 thou space with ease, more likely 8/8 would be their minimum. It then becomes a matter of minimum annular rings and drill sizes they are prepared to use that determine component density. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
