PCBWay board house

[Terry S]

Has anyone tried PCBWay? The prices look unbeatable, cheaper than OSHPark. I can't quite figure out if shipping from China is actually free.

Thats the primary PCB fab house I use and I love them. The one thing I really like about them is that it has a status tracker, you can see which step in the process the boards are in (Routing, silkscreening, etching, etc.)

Is standard shipping free?

Grief, that's cheap.

So simple to order too - I just looked up the price for 4-layer Eurocards with immersion gold & black coating - 5 boards about 120 USD, Nuts.

What's the quality like? Silk screen & drilling registration etc.?

Nick, the 75mm x 50mm boards I priced (2 layer HASL lead) came out to about $1.30 each. Crazy cheap.

I've always paid for DHL shipping, which is $38 and takes 3 days to get to my house in the United States from China.

I don't push tolerances but these vias are 0.889mm with the drill size of 0.508mm.

I'll keep that under my hat ! I've been dealing with board houses, since the 80's. Due to some of the disasters, mostly in the 80's, I've experienced, I'm always a bit gun-shy about using a new PCB fab. Good to hear, that you got good results. I got real good at zapping away shorts, on internal layers, back then.

I'll give PCBWay a try for my next board, due out in a few months, and let you know how it turns out.

As a reference-point, my nixie-watch PCB is 4-layer with 8mil design rules, 0.8mm thick, 8cm x 11cm.

My vendor (Sky Electronics) has done outstanding work on my past 3 PCBs. They charged 200 USD for 10 boards, PCBWay quoted $99 online.

BTW, my watch in not 8xm x 11cm; that's the debug board. For the actual wristwatch I cut-out the display & CPLD boards, then stack them. The design is finished and debugged; I'm on the last step now: building the case.
