Re: I built a TM500 mainframe tester, and updated the design. Someone might find this useful?


 

Oshpark is very good, with 3 board per order for the price of 5 dollars per square inch.? I should point out that the board set I saw would be rather expensive.

Their boards are purple, and ENIG (gold plated)

The typical Chinese made boards may have a size limitation for lowest cost, and the lowest price will be for HASL (Hot Air Solder Leveled) boards.? On the other hand, a 100 mm square board can be had for 4.90, and that's for 10 of them.? Shipping with DHL is likely 20 to 25 dollars, but that price range covers 5 different boards, all 100 mm in size or less.

Using Chinese made boards will require a different physical design.

Are there any US PCB Houses that we could contact? Or are they all in China? I have never done boards before. I would be willing to help out with the process.
