PCB Manufaturer, recommendations?

Post by VK5TM »

I need to get some pcb's made professionally.

Anybody have any recommendation/s of companies they have used.

In the usual ham tradition, looking for inexpensive (as opposed to cheap).

Found Pcbway in China, but can't find any reviews of their service.

Thanks in advance.

Terry, covered before.

(Initially discusses drawing software, but moves to fabricators)

iTeadStudio.
Have used them twice now.
And if you're familiar with the "ZL PLL" board, the PCBs for that were made by iTeadStudio as well.

Great value for money.
The mucking around with varying degrees of success with exposing and etching yourself is no longer worth it, when you can can have a professionally fabricated double-dided plated-through PCB for a relatively small amount.

Thanks Adam.

I do my own boards for 1-10-off's and prototypes, using a photographic process, have been for years.

When I start needing them in 50 quantities, like now, yes, getting them done professionally is a better use of my time.
