I've been using a manufacturer here in the USA (IL). They have waived setup fee for me a couple times and work hard at being competitive.
75 boards with gold fingers, 10 days @ about $12 a board. Check them out. They are good folks. http://www.pcbnet.com On 08/22/14 11:00 AM, John Monahan wrote:
They seem to classify less than 500 or greater. It does not seem to make a big difference in price as far as I can tell (at least with PCBCart). The number 1 factor, is the number of boards. There is a "setup fee" fee of $70-$80 for each new board. After that it's a board cost. Just place the (large) order for the 80386 + RAM boards, total ~100 boards, works out to be ~$13/board.

How do quantity factor into manufacturing? I'm guessing fewer number means less cost and possibly shorter overall trace lengths. Autorouter starts to slow down and eliminate less and less. Doesn't seem like it's worth it to continue to run autorouter to reduce via with results like 1 or 2 a day. -- Don Caprio [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "N8VEM-S100" group.
