Post by thread:PC Boards

I'm interested in having about 10 copies of a 3" x 4" double-sided PC board made commercially. The layout was done in Eagle, with Gerber-file exports. Can someone direct me to an inexpensive company to do this work? PS. Did you know that a 'Sharpie' permanent marker works great as a etch-resistant pen? ================================================================ Robert A. LaBudde, PhD, PAS, Dpl.

Hi Robert, I would definately recommend AP Circuits ( http://www.apcircuits.com ). I have seen many people on this list recommend them, they are the least expensive that I have seen for small quantities, and they gave me very fast and high-quality service when I sent them a rather compex, double-sided board design. Just for comparison, qty. 2 of a 6 inch by 4 inch board ran me $90,and that was about 50% setup fee.

While Alberta Printed Circuits is cheap and quick, the board quality is not the greatest. Not that they make any mistakes, just that these boards will not last many reworks. I use them often for developement as you send in your board by 7 AM and the next afternoon go pick up your board (P1 service and yes I'm local). Just a caution. Wendall {Original Message removed}

I second the motion. It is something like $50.00 setup and $.50 per square inch. If you need solder mask, silk screen, gold fingers, scoring, or anything other than a plain reflowed board Advanced Circuits in Colarado is the best choice. They don't come close to AP for plain vanilla boards though. Sean H. Breheny wrote: {Quote hidden}> Hi Robert, > > I would definately recommend AP Circuits ( http://www.apcircuits.com ).
