Hi, I've been using OSHPark to have my designs made up, and they are great, but I figure I should try a few other manufacturers and recently went to look at pcbway. So I am wondering if anyone has experience of OSHPark and any other manufacturer (but particularly PCBWay), and could give me some idea of what to Watch out for when trying to move from OSHParknto someone else.
For example, PCBWay's base offering is TG 130-140 - is this suitable for reflow? OSHPark is TG170. PCBWay's base offering minimum hole size is .3mm, this is possibly only relevant (to me) for vias. I'm not sure how this compares with OSHPark, but it makes me want to ask if there are specific design constraints I should be aware of for other fabricators, that perhaps OSHPark has implicitly let me get away with. I've compared all of the explicitly stated design constraints of the two shops, and apart from the TG rating and the minimum hole size, it seems that PCBWay would handle boards designed for OSHPark with no problems. Of course once you stray from their base offering, things can get expensive real fast, but at least HASL lead-free is still reasonable (their base offering is not lead-free) - and they offer different solder mask colors :) Thanks - Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
