gEDA-user: Anybody ever had a board assembled (pick and place)?

2011-07-27 Thread yamazakir2
I have had many boards manufactured but never had one also assembled. What are the costs to do this? Are there any (cheap) manufactures that also do pick and place? Do they buy the components for you or do you have to send them reels, meaning you have to buy 1000's of components at a time?

I'm planning on having some proto boards assembled by Advanced Circuits (4pcb.com). And yes, I have to supply all the components, and no, they don't provide storage until you've actually put the order in (Many components are very moisture sensitive). On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 10:28 AM, yamazakir2

I sometimes get boards done at 4pcb, I didn't know they do assembly. How much to they charge? And how big of a reel do you have to send them? And you just cut tape the amount of parts you need to assemble the amount of boards you want to manufacture? On Wed, Jul 27, 2011 at 11:23 AM, Russell Dill

To get an online assembly quote, you have to register on the my4pcb.com site. I don't know how competitive the cost is, but given the quantity and complexity, if I'm going to have an assembly house fck up a PCB that I had prototyped, I'd rather it be the house that make the PCB. I didn't ask about
