Reliable PCB manufacturer not located in China?

Dec 13, 2021 Last reply: 4 years ago 4 Replies

Anyone have a company they can recommend that is perhaps in Taiwan or any other country than China?



I prefer online quotes - mostly for double sided, and sometimes board assembly.



I've found a couple of Taiwan companies that give online quotes in Taiwan and was interested about other folks experience and recommendations.

as examples.



Getting ready to run off some small sample boards.



If there is any company in North America (including Mexico) that is also fast, reliable, and reasonably priced I am more than happy to consider them too.



I am not going to make any company rich on the size of my orders - a step or two up from hobbyist level - so companies that are willing to work with customers who are still learning would help.



Thanks!

I believe DKRed are produced by Royal Circuit in CA but I can't immediately find an official reference for that. There are some limitations (2 layers) but i've been considering using them myself for some prototypes.

We often need to avoid using China for IP or export control reasons. If it's just IP, we sometimes get boards fabbed by PCBway in Shenzhen and then stuffed onshore by Screaming Circuits or Pentalogix. 'T'ain't super cheap.

(I sort of doubt that export controls are a big factor in the pinball machine business, so I gather that you don't want to deal with China for moral reasons.)
