Which is better ? Würth Or Eurocircuits

[mrpackethead]

PCBWay's quote form is accurate, but they only accept payment via PayPal and they charge a 6.5% PayPal fee.

If running a production quantity of boards (in our case 1000 x circuits) you can ask for the Paypal fee to be removed. 6.5% is a bit rich & PCBWAY are aware of this.

pcbway are priced ok, but their service is starting to become quite  unreliable. Of last five orders, there has been some issue with four of them.

Well, two Eurocard 4 layer for 3 days prototype is 500 EUR at Würth, and 450 at EC.
While for the same size, 50 pcs 8 layer boards for slow for the price it is 2400 at Würth and 1700 at EC. So Würth is still more expensive, for the typical stuff, Würt is still more expensive. That was my feeling last year also.
On the other hand you get a HDI Microvia prototype for 660 EUR, which is awesome price if you ask me.

Hello guys,
I stumbled upon this post and have to comment this (I know I am late). I was wondering why no one was mentioning my employer Multi-CB: www.multi-cb.de.
2 pcs. Eurocard with 4 layers in 3 production days cost approx. 230€ net.
50 pcs. Eurocard with 8 layers in 15 days (faster possible) cost approx. 1260€ net.
The quality and delivery reliability are excellent.

@Icarus
Multi-CB can easily produce 10 layer boards with impedance control and a high-Tg / low CTE material (e.g. FR408HR, I do not know if exactly this material is in stock).
125µm tracks as well as 0.2mm vias are already inclusive.

Sorry for making this small "advert", but I think you can see the difference.

This is very bizarre!

I was literally just looking on the Multi-CB website after finding a link to it on electronics weekly or some other publication, and thinking that the prices seemed quite good in comparison to the likes of Eurocircuits, and thought i'd do a quick check on relies on the blog and voila!

I'd never heard of Multi-CB before, it's not what you might call well advertised like, anywhere!  On paper it does look comparable.

Hello Wilksey,

thanks for your input! We are trying to be recognized all over Europe, but the budget for new technology is always higher than for marketing.
We will try to expand our marketing efforts little by little.

And yes, not only the prices are good but also the quality.

Multi-CB, I notice you do not sell to hobbyists. What is the reason for that?

Hello Bob, we came to the conclusion that hobbyists and (literal) professionals do have special needs when it comes to PCB production and procedures.
As we can only concentrate us fully on one group, we try to do the best for the professionals.

As a satisfied Multi-CB customer I can vouch for that   .

I also use EC, but in general I find that prices at Multi-CB are (sometimes significantly) lower.

Very satisfied Multi-CB customer over here after two orders I'm going back for more
