JLCPCB error 404

(1/2) > >>

SiliconWizard:
I keep getting error 404 on JLCPCB when searching for parts today. Am I the only one?

gamalot:
is it my fault?  :-//

Did you mean LCSC? Tried a few times, everything seems to work fine here.

SiliconWizard:
Your fault? :-DD

No it was JLCPCB. LCSC was fine. The problems lasted a couple hours. Guess they were maintaining their databases or something, and nobody works the day after christmas,  right? :)

For those wondering why one would look for parts on JLCPCB, they probably haven't used JLCPCB's assembly service yet.
While their main distributor is LCSC, they do *not* use the same LCSC channel (and thus, stock) than the LCSC distribution channels accessible to everyone else. JLCPCB's stock is completely different. You'll find out the hard way if you have to deal with JLCPCB.

Now they can use "global" sourcing otherwise, but it takes 10 more days on average and is significantly more expensive.

So, just for those who wouldn't know yet. It's cheap but you get what you pay for.

Infraviolet:
JLCPCB was working for me today, although it looks like China celebrates both our new year and their new year, because where "file review" usually takes half an hour it has been waiting a day today.

That is not quite correct, by the way. JLCPCB offers a subset of LCSC's stock for use in their assembly service. It seems to me that LCSC has multiple warehouses, and one (or some) of them is co-located with the JLCPCB facility and houses the parts which JLCPCB can use as "extended parts".

Since JLCPCB's parts search totally sucks, I prefer the search on LCSC to select any parts beyond standard Rs and Cs. If you pick parts there which are in stock, and which are also available to "ship immediately", chances are that JLCPCB can use them too. I then take the Cxxxxx number from the LCSC catalog and enter that into the JLCPCB parts search to verify. That's about the only thing the JLCPCB search is good for...
