Every now and then, there's some good reasons to have PCBs for a home project made by a company. (Time, IC package difficulty, etc.) To understand the expense involved, I'm here to ask:
Have you ever sent a PCB design out to be printed (with or without components)?
What are the minimum and typical costs?
Just for example, let's say it was a 2 layer board smaller than 3" x 3" (76mm x 76mm). And 50 components or less (PDIP, SOIC and 0805 SMT).
How do they get the components? Do you provide them?
In general how does the price of having just the PCB done compare to having it fully assemblied? (x2 the cost? x3?)
