| Min Trace | 0.1mm / 4mil | Min manufacturable trace is 4mil (0.1mm), strongly suggest to design trace above 6mil (0.15mm) to save cost. |
| Min Spacing | 0.1mm / 4mil | Min manufacturable spacing is 4mil (0.1mm), strongly suggest to design spacing above 6mil (0.15mm) to save cost. |
| Outer Layer Copper Thickness | 1oz / 2oz / 3oz (35μm / 70μm / 105μm) | Also known as copper weight. 35μm = 1oz, 70μm = 2oz, 105μm = 3oz. Please contact us if you need copper weight greater than 3oz. |

| 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. |

This is a sample of public feedback from a broader range of client work.
I engaged COLETEK several years ago to produce designs and working prototypes of 2 products I am currently developing as I was having difficulty obtaining what I required from overseas design companies. I have always found Luke easy to work with and having face to face meetings made explaining my concepts so much easier than endless emails. Design changes and modifications are always produced in a timely fashion and available for pickup locally.
From an idea in my head to making sales nationwide and now worldwide. COLETEK were there every step of the way. The product was my first development so I had no idea really. With COLETEK offering privacy agreements and steering me in the right direction, it gave me confidence instantly. One thing that may seem irrelevant they questioned me about what it was I was trying to achieve and if in fact if it's even viable? That for me showed COLETEK wasn't in it just for my money. After some meetings and a couple of CAD drawings we had our first working prototype. COLETEK's knowledge and experience definitely made this whole process a lot easier. From CAD drawings, prototypes, liaising with suppliers in Australia and overseas - COLETEK done the lot. I'd highly recommend COLETEK!
Our dealings with COLETEK were pleasant and professional. Luke was kind and courteous and very easy to talk to. High quality design concepts were emailed through with regularity so that we always knew exactly what was going on. I would recommend supporting hard workers and local Australia business by working with COLETEK
I have had the pleasure of working with Luke, our exceptional robotic product developer, over the past few years. Luke's expertise and professionalism have been pivotal in advancing our projects. Their innovative approach, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence have consistently exceeded our expectations. The quality of work and dedication Luke brings to each level of our project has significantly contributed to our success. I highly recommend COLETEK for their outstanding skills and unwavering professionalism.
Excellent service quick response and great results and reliability.
Thank you for your recent help with my enquiry. I have been able to proceed with my project which was proving very difficult before I was fortunate enough to make your acquaintance. The help you have given me and the contacts I have made with your support has been invaluable. Thank you so much and I look forward to a long and fruitful association.
Luke has a very broad depth of knowledge across many engineering disciplines and has a large project base to draw experience from. I engaged COLETEK for assistance in some early electro-mechanical design for a hoisting system. They've been a great resource for helping develop ideas.
Our company has been working with COLETEK and Luke Cole for several years. Luke is very intelligent in many areas and has provided us with excellent designs and service. With the addition of a marketing section to provide brochures, packaging, etc. COLETEK is a one-stop shop. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend Luke and his company.
I can say that I've only dealt once with Luke Cole at COLETEK and I found him to be very professional and helpful with his assessment of my device. His expertise and suggestions with regards to my invention was great, despite my pedestrian review of it and what I was hoping it could achieve. In the end his advice was paramount in my final decision as to whether I would move forward with the development of a prototype.
