Cheap PCBs for students

[J Smithson]

I recently found a site that claims to provide the cheapest PCBs around and by the looks of it they seem legit,

I was just wondering if anyone has purchased anything from them because Id like to confirm that they sell quality stuff before I buy anything

Check them out

I don't know if you are actually just trying to advertise your own site, but the company has been registered since August 2010 and has the same address in Ireland as PCB Pool (who I have been using for years) - even the same unit number. So, unless they want to explain their connection with PCB-Pool I would be suspicious. Maybe it is legitimate. Maybe it is a new arm of PCB-Pool (although if it is, why not say so). Maybe someone at PCB-Pool is moonlighting, although I doubt it as they would get found out very quickly! They say the PCBs are made in South Africa and the PCBs are shipped from Ireland! All sounds very weird.

Futher evidence that it is PCB-Pool in disguise come from a Whois lookup of both domains - they are both registered in Germany with the same admin contact name. By the way, PCB-Pool is part of Beta Layout.

I confirm these are the cheapest I ever saw ... do they really send a good pcb is another question ...

You will have to let us know!




As they would appear to be part of PCB-Pool I would expect the quality to be fine.

I've never dealt with them, but these sort of shenanigans don't fill me with confidence. Add to that the name of the company 'Jackal'. For those who aren't native English speakers, one of the definitions of the word is:

Jackal - a villain, esp a swindler

Someone really didn't think this venture through very well. LOL

Hi.
I found a side where everybody can buy low cost 2 layer pcb boards.
There are 2 prices only. 29.95$ for 5 pcs of the same board size 50x50mm max and
59.95$ if the size is 100x100mm max. Both with free air-mail shipping includet !
This is the lowest price I have found. I have ordered one set and hope I get them after 2 weeks.
The page is Adjustable low pass filters, ECG, EMG, EEG,Isolation amplifir, Prototype PCB boards
