Perforated copper sheet

[Andy Lawrence 2Participant @andylawrence2]

I am trying to obtain a small quantity of perforated copper sheet ,so far without success. Does anyone know of a supplier in the UK

Andy, could you give an idea of the type and size of perforations, thickness of sheet and what you would call a "small Quantity" and use as this will help people come up with more suitable suggestions.

And the application? Depending on this other materials may be used that are available, for example for emi shielding.

A quick search brings up a number of companies advertising perforated copper sheet. So what's special about the application that it can't be met by the available sheets?

Thanks for your replies.I have located several suppliers who stock the item I'm looking for(copper perf plate 0.7mm thick .5mm hole.pitch 7mm) The problem is that they only supply in 1×2 meter plate size,and since I make Microphones this would keep me going for a very long time,apart from costing £200.! I need about half a meter sq.

Look at a laser cutting firm like LaserMaster not only will they cut the holes in plain sheet they will cut the outline shape too. You could even try fancy hole shapes or patterns. Cost is generally quite reasonable.
