Yes, they use to be my "goto" board house. I used them mostly for multilayer boards (4 or more layers), and they did very good work. I haven't used them since ~2008. Not because of anything they did, but because of my PCB needs. I've only done double sided (2 layers) since that time. The smaller, and simpler boards, I have done at a Chinese board house (PCBcart).
Back to Accutrace. I've used them since 1995. Also, I had boards made by them, as long as 22". I did quite a few 4 layer boards. Only a couple with more layers. They did excellent work. I haven't used them, in a while, so I don't know if they've made any significant changes, that may effect quality. They do make process changes at times. Their prices had dropped, from 1995 to 2008, The time that I used them. I use to send them gerber files on floppies, and get negatives back, along with the boards. But that stopped well before 2000. Once I find a good board house, I'm very reluctant to switch to another. I had a very bad experience back in the mid 80s, with a fairly large 6 layer board. Lots of internal shorts ! Had to blast them using a large capacitor. Worked most of the time, but a few IC legs still ended up sticking out, and rewired, externally. Good thing it was still "through hole" back then. > Accutrace inc aka pcb4u.com Has anybody used this outfit for PCBs?
