Title: Professional PCB's
Post by: noneyabussiness on August 04, 2017, 01:42:37 am

Just asking for opinions of places that do professional PCB's in Australia? ? Only small run, 5-10 at a time. Googled heaps but just wanted a "professional"  :D opinion, personal experiences etc.

Thanks in advance,
Glen

Not Australian but I have found pcbway.com does a very good job and prices are more than reasonable even with DHL delivery. Takes just over a week from order to having them in your hand, that is unless there is public holidays in China that I seem to always catch.

If you have to for "country of origin" reasons, be prepared to pay a hefty premium for it.

pcbway and itead both do excellent boards at prices you and I can't even buy the raw material for.
If you're not in a metro area, watch out for pcbway's "out of area surcharge" on delivery, that can really hurt.
I typically see about 10 days from sending the gerbers to having the goods in my hand.
