| Drill Sizes (CNC) | 0.2-6.3mm | Min drill size is 0.2mm, max drill is 6.3mm. Any holes greater than 6.3mm or smaller than 0.3mm will be subject to extra charges. |
| Min Width of Annular Ring | 0.15mm (6mil) | For pads with vias in the middle, Min width for Annular Ring is 0.15mm (6mil). |
| Finished Hole Diameter (CNC) | 0.2-6.2mm | The finished hole diameter will be smaller than size of drill bits because of copper plating in the hole barrels |
| Finished Hole Size Tolerance(CNC) | ±0.08mm | For example, if the drill size is 0.6mm, the finished hole diameter ranges from 0.52mm to 0.68mm will be considered acceptable. |
| Solder Mask | LPI | Liquid Photo-Imageable is the mostly adopted. Thermosetting Ink is used in the inexpensive paper-based boards. |
| Minimum Character Width (Legend) | 0.15mm | Characters of less than 0.15mm wide will be too narrow to be identifiable. |
| Minimum Character Height (Legend) | 0.8mm | Characters of less than 0.8mm high will be too small to be recognizable. |
| Character Width to Height Ratio (Legend) | 1:5 | In PCB silkscreen legends processing, 1:5 is the most suitable ratio |
| Minimum Diameter of Plated Half Holes | 0.6mm | Design Half-Holes greater than 0.6mm to ensure better connection between boards. |
| Surface Finishing | HASL with lead, HASL lead free, Immersion gold | The most popular three types of PCB surface finish. Please contact us for other finishes. |
| Solder Mask | Green, Red, Yellow, Blue, White, Black | No extra charge (Green, Red, Yellow, Blue) |
| Silkscreen | White, Black, None | No extra charge. |
| Panelization | V-scoring, Tab-routing, Tab-routing with Perforation (Stamp Holes) | Leave min clearance of 1.6mm between boards for break-routing. For V-score panelization, set the space between boards to be zero. |
| Others | Fly Probe Testing (Free) and A.O.I. testing(free), ISO 9001:2008, UL Certificate | No extra charge. |

PCB Manufacture & Assembly for Brisbane – Selected Client Testimonials
This is a sample of public feedback from a broader range of client work.
Luke and the team do a amazing job. Extremly happy from start to finish
I consulted COLETEK for some work, commencing in 2014, and haven’t looked back. The project was very important to me, and COLETEK not only saw that but exuded sincere enthusiasm about the project; they are attentive, and thorough in their research and development service. They are a wealth of information and advice, for many aspects of the entire engineering and commercialization space, and this has been invaluable to me. I look forward to continuing work with them long into the future!
We worked with Luke from COLETEK to develop a prototype for a new venture. Luke was able to give us practical advice on how to execute the project inline with our budget that was super useful. What has been endearing, is that even after the build was complete, Luke continues to touch base with us offering help to keep the momentum of the project going forward.
In the development of our new product Smart Syphon we had a tight deadline to launch the commercial version of our product and experienced some issues with our drawings. Luke and his team dealt with the issues, worked through the week-end and delivered a quality outcome on time.
We met with Luke Cole from COLETEK and very quickly realised that he was very knowledgeable in robotics and prototyping. What separates his company from the rest, is that he had a unique value proposition - COLETEK offers a tele-operated / robotic unit for rent and with the flexibility to be modified to build proof-of-concepts. That unit lowered both the cost and time for us to produce a video showing a very challenging concept. In general COLETEK's service was great value. We would recommend them - they will get it done.
Luke (COLETEK) did an amazing job helping me take an idea through technical design, proof of concept and prototype development. Luke immediately understood the requirements, delivered to a budget, within the required timeframe and the whole process was extremely professional. I highly recommend for any design and prototype work you can imagine.
Luke from COLETEK has assisted us on a number of occasions and has always been helpful, courteous and understanding of our needs. There was an instance when timing was of the essence and Luke was able to prioritise our job to ensure we weren't affecting our customers in a negative way. He is highly recommended.
After approaching COLETEK with a few sketches of a plumbing tool I had in mind Luke and I immediately bounced a few ideas around. Leaving things with Luke he quickly produced some 3D images and ideas we subsequently used. Before long COLETEK produced an operational 3D printed prototype of the tool. I was then able to use this prototype to seek funding for further research and development.
I would thoroughly recommend COLETEK they provided me with excellent feedback and engineering knowledge with regards to our idea. They also have continued to help us with what direction we should take and introduced us to other professionals that have also guided us. I suggest anyone who has been thinking of something they would like to pursue should contact them to get the most realistic approach of making it successful.
We used COLETEK on a small project involving mechanical and electronic design aspects as well as software development. COLETEK understood our requirements at the outset and worked to accommodate our needs. The whole process was professionally conducted and we highly recommend COLETEK
