Reliable PCB manufacturer not located in China?...

[John Robertson]

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.

or

https://www.pcbfinpo.com/quote

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.)
