@jgskarda ,

I have heard good things about PCBWay but I have been happy enough with MacroFab that I have stayed put.

Here are some things that have kept me loyal:

  • I can carry parts inventory at no charge there. That way, when I order parts like this AM1805AQ, I order a bunch, get a great per unit cost and hold them for the next few runs.
    **I currently have FRAM, JST connectors and RTC crystals in my inventory for example
  • They don’t charge extra for things like double - sided boards and have reasonable through hole charges
  • As they are US based, there has been less disruption during the pandemic and less issues with the ever changing tariff environment.
  • They do a decent job of manufacturing review and have caught the occasional (or more?) mistake I have made before it was soldered to a board. :wink:

I don’t know which is better but, MacroFab may well be worth a shot.
