Mark I'm trying to imagine what you are describing - is this PCBs with 4mm banana plugs installed or a small PCB with two slots at 3/4" centres to match the socket spacing?
If the latter is this intended to cover just two sockets or to short all four Force and Sense sockets together (if arranged like a 3458A)?

They could also be used for input shorts. The advantage over bare copper would be the ENIG gold finish... bare copper quickly forms oxide layers and copper oxide has a horrible thermal EMF. Granted, ENIG gold basically involves waving a bar of gold over the plating tank and hoping some gold atoms fall off. The board house I use deposits a thicker layer than most. You don't want to know what "hard gold" finish would cost. Using a PCB house to fab them is probably 20 times less expensive than having a machine shop do them out of solid copper... maybe 50 times less if you need to get them gold plated. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ volt-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volt-nuts and follow the instructions there.
