Electronic load PCB manufacture
« on: September 18, 2016, 06:38:26 am »
Hi all,

I am designing a cased up ~300W electronic load for home use. All analog. I've designed the two PCBs for the unit and are looking at places to get them built. PCB GOGO seems like a reasonable choice, with a quote at $133 for both PCBs as a panel, shipping to NZ included. Any problems with them or can I get it done cheaper elsewhere? I can either panelize the PCBs with a V groove between them or send them off separately.

Specifications for the PCBs are:

Main board:
310x150
1.6mm
2 layer
2oz copper
min feature size 0.2mm
min hole 0.3mm

FET board:
250x59
1.6mm
2 layer
2oz copper
min feature size 0.2mm
min hole 0.3mm

Thanks.

Usually ordering separate PCBs is cheaper than ordering different designs in a single panel.

I plugged the numbers into PCB GOGO separately and got $72 for the FET board and $110 for the main board, so more than the combination in a panel. That was with separate shipping however. Can I combine shipping?

Use pcbshopper.com. I have had no problems whatsoever with the cheapest Chinese providers, even though I have had some special requirements, such as a lot of fairly accurate routing. They even ship quickly.
