Cheap PCB fab available now (During chinese new year)
« on: January 31, 2019, 01:30:44 am »
Can anyone recommend a cheap PCB fab that is still operating at the moment?
All the china ones are shutdown for Chinese new year and open again around 15th Feb

I really want to get a PCB design produced within a week or two.
Nothing super special. 6/6, Small board, ENIG, 2 layer, black mask.

You probably stand a better chance locally.

In New Zealand... Cheap... Not a chance.
Where are we going, and why are we in a handbasket?

Na, i don't expect it to be local

But there must be other countries offering cheap PCB services?

The PCBs are ok, but a week or two most likely won't happen. Takes that long for me paying double for a rush order.

If you find money more important than a life that's up to you, but please try to respect other people / cultures.

I have an order with JLCPCB not going anywhere fast, apparently it got stuck in their CNY shutdown.  When asked about it I was told they only run one line over the holidays and orders are backed up.  (It has been 8 days now for something that should take 4 or less.)  I had hoped that by placing my order on 1/25 I'd beat the shutdown, but no such luck. :(

So I'm giving up on them.  OSHPark has a 12 day delivery which is pretty worthless (no expedited option for 4 layer), even if they're open during CNY, so their normal is no faster than just waiting it out.  And I hate their dark purple soldermask.

Quoting engine online is horrific.  Get that fixed and i'd have a further look.


Although it has been more than a month, I wonder if you have found the right supplier. I'd like to recommend one to you.
PCBOnline has been dedicated to OEM service for more than 20 years, with two PCB factories and one SMT factory, located in Shenzhen, China.  with a turnover of 450 million RMB in 2018.
What's more, PCBOnline can quote and order online. For example: 2 layer board, within 0.2 square meters , Only 25.76usd. https://www.pcbonline.com/
