Affordable pcb manufacturer
Hey,
I need a decent pcb manufacturer and just got a quote from these guys: pcb assembly
They are pretty cheap which is more than appealing to me, but i want to make sure they are also fast and reliable. I dont want to invest into garbage pcbs even though their prices are great. They seems like a pretty small company so i'm hoping for some kind of validation from someone.
Has anyone already ordered from these guys?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Re: Affordable pcb manufacturer
I found PCB products of JLCPCB very cheap as compared to other manufacturers. But, I prefer to get PCB products from US distributor and found NeodenUSA as a good distributor in this regard. Many cheap manufacturers are also available at AliExpress and Amazon but be careful with the false and projected reviews.

Re: Affordable pcb manufacturer
Hi ,
In fact in China there are thousands of PCB manufacturers but it is really hard to choose which one is the best ,but last time I buy a products from Stariver Circuit PCB(www.starivergroup.com) which is good quality and they may not as cheap as orthers but they quality and lead time are pretty good. They have 3 factories and which focust on small medium and large volume production a good thing is they can give you some good payment terms (like net 10 days or 5 days ) but it dpends on your products quantity.

Re: Affordable pcb manufacturer
I think it depend on your requests on the boards,In China PCB markets, price from low-middle-high for differents demands.Factories can be distinguished as 1-4 layers pcb manufactuer,6-10 layers,12-16layers,up to 16layer,HDI ect.
If for personal use, I think most of factories can do PCBs good for you.
But if you want to buy PCBs which all were Inspected per IPC standard -IPC-A-610C (normally class 2),you had better to buy from standard factories.
They will have COC reports to describe all parameters on boards, and microsection and tin test samples.
Class 3 more stricter,just like the thickness of cu on wall 25um min. no x-outs,outlooking very good. But 10-20% higher price than Class 2.

Re: Affordable pcb manufacturer
So, has anyone else ordered from these guys? The thing is that I'll soon be getting some of this Portuguese real estate, initially for the holidays, but I'm planning to have a workshop there where I'll assemble custom made RC planes, for which I'll need circuit boards.

Re: Affordable pcb manufacturer
Personally speaking, I would thoroughly recommend JLCPCB found here:
https://jlcpcb.com/
I have been using them for quite a few years and the quality of the boards are excellent and fairly cheap.
They are based in China but if you use them then I would recommend using the ePacket shipping method which takes about 4-7 days longer than DHL but is much cheaper. I have used several other PCB manufactures who have produced not so good quality boards but the boards from JLCPCB are the best I have found.

Re: Affordable pcb manufacturer
There is a project in pcbgogo, which is AC HA Airconditioner Home Automation. This project is targeted at providing a wifi access to Toshiba split system A/Cs. The board hides completely inside the Hi-Wall unit and allows web access as well as home automation server to control the climate. The board price is great for the prototype and the quality was as good as a lot of the more expensive PCB houses around.

Re: Affordable pcb manufacturer
In general, the cost to produce a PCB will cost between $10 and $50 per board. The actual price will be determined by the manufacturer (pcb supplier) and could be higher or lower based on the components, size, and type of material used.
