Try JLCPCB PCB prototype service and pay using coupons

I am using JLCPCB service for my prototype PCB for 2 years. And I think they are offering best quality PCB’s prototypes in that price range. You will get 5 Pcs of single layered, two-layered and 4-layered PCB’s just in $2. Here the board size also matters. For single, two-layer PCB (100x100mm) and for 4-layer PCB (50x50mm).

The price remains the same ($2) for all sizes under this range. The manufacturing unit has a lot of expertise in making PCB with different material, thickness and color. A basic PCB cost just $2 which I think is the best deal for your circuit design. Other companies will charge up to 2x for same specs of design.

And the SMT assembly service they are providing is best deal to stole now. I ordered some assembled PCBs. The Parts and the finishing in soldering work is really impressive. If you want to try the SMT assembly service then sign-up to JLCPCB using this link and you will get free coupons of worth $54 as new user reward. These coupons can be used to place the pcb prototype or SMT assembly order.
