Hello,
I am a R&D designer and have a done a lot of designs and builds with no problems. However I am brand new to taking a design to manufacturing (100+) products. I realize that there are many variables and pretty clueless in knowing where to start. I would define the product to be the PCB and assembly with components.
Topics on circuit and component design for DFM that would be great to get some feedback on:
1.) Tips on things to watch out for, things to do-not do.
2.) should I get a middleman if I decide to push things to china, etc.
3.) best estimates for final component cost. (I have heard 2.5-3x BOM, etc.)
4.) books, app notes articles that are helpful on the topic.
5.) Anything else you think would be useful in regard to the subject.
I have also found this thread, which that hits on some of the topics here, but not all.
Thanks
