Seems like most PCBs are manufactured in China these days.

Seems like most PCBs are manufactured in China these days.

As far as I know, there are ton of manufacturers in the west coast of the USA. China's quality is not same as USA manufacturer. I learned this when they always ask for solder balls or any bga accessories.

In the past couple of months, I have been using OSH park.com.
As I understand it, they have become the supplier for Sparkfun. Its the closest thing to the cost and convenience of ExpressPCB for prototyping boards that I have found. They are full spec boards with soldermask and silkscreen. Order one, and get three copies. something like $5 per square inch with all included.

I also understand that they are a order packager, ie: they collect many orders and combine them for a full sheet. I have never had one wait longer than 2 days before the order went in, and since they are manufactured in the US, they come to me fairly quickly. I think they average 10-12 days to my door.

I use Eagle for generating the files, and it works for me quite well.

Just my 2 cents.

I went through the thread and didn't notice a supplier that makes pricing as easy and low as this one (I used 2 units 6"x6" as sample).

Most likely where I will order my boards.

Hi Robert, Don't forget to ask for your $5 discount for posting their link BTW I will likely use them as well, THNX for the link.

For serious low quantity projects but also for high volumes too, Eurocircuits is highly recommended.

Top quality, speed and accepts even directly eagle brd files.
