PCB fab recommendations for moderate run of small boards

[Darrell Harmon]

I need to fab 50-100 small (1"x1"), double sided, plated through hole
PCBs. No special requirements. Soldermask desireable but not essential.
Cost is of course the issue. What I've found so far is around $300 for
a full feature service including separating the boards. I've done this
before without soldermask and uncut for something like $100-150 and might
do that again but would rather not have to use the bandsaw and files.

Thanks.

Hi Sam,

We have a supplier in Taiwan that will do small runs, including populating
components. Contact me on the e-mail address spamtrap at hayclan-oz dot com.

Thanks. I just did it with them and was fine. They were very responsive
to questions and the quality seems decent. I wouldn't say it's super but
certainly adequate if you're not doing super fine pitch PCBs.
