PCB Fabrication Parameters
For most PCB Manufacturers, there are similar specific PCB parameters that are considered to affect the PCB price the most. These parameters include: the PCB size, the number of PCB layers, the PCB Solder mask color, the PCB Thickness, the PCB Silkscreen, the PCB Copper Weight, the PCB Surface Finish, the PCB Trace size, PCB Stencil and the PCB Quantity and Quality.There are still other factors that affect the cost of PCB Fabrication. Such factors include: the location where the PCB is being shipped and the time taken to fabricate a PCB and ship it. All the factors mentioned here should be considered when choosing an appropriate PCB Manufacturer. One should look for a good compromise between the price, quality and the time taken to complete the whole job. In the following sections, we shall compare some of the common online PCB Manufacturers.
