IMHO, JLCPCB has a unique vertical and offer a solid product at fair pricing but the process restricts complex PCBs (ie. via in pad; blind & buried vias, etc.). Perhaps this will change in the future. They also hack / cross-cut our carrier strips on our PCB panels. In short, fair...
PCBWay says its approach to quality involves promising zero defect products with on-time delivery. This even factors in the materials they use. The company uses chemically processed copper plating for the production of pads and via metallization, instead of using conductive adhesive technology to sav...
As for reworkability: yes, but in your original post you talk about the board “last[ing]”, not rework. My point is that if you have a higher spec substrate like TG170 you will get a device that last longer because you have the ability to do repairs and rework with less risk of ...
Significant Via Drill Offset Trace Widths Below Tolerance Copper Layer Quality The QFN and QFP footprints were reproduced exceptionally well with clear pad definition around the QFN, even with the HASL surface finish. The passives footprints were of good quality and usable. ...
The only things on the bottom of the boards are the Via's and trace/s that join them together. Now when I load these into pcbway they fail verification with a no bottom solder mask layer error. Even though the file exists inside the uploaded Gerber zip file. However if I put a ...
