Standardized PCB prices implemented
The China Printed Circuit Association gathered
leading PCB makers from Japan,
Europe, USA, Taiwan and Hong Kong
at the "PCB Industry Manufacturer Information Seminar" last week to
discuss the heavy burden on the PCB industry from the increasing PCB
manufacturing costs.

Reports are telling
that the manufacturing costs in the PCB industry have increased by almost 30
percent in short time. This has become a heavy burden on the PCB industry and
the "PCB Industry Manufacturer Information Seminar" reached a
consensus that hopefully will help the PCB industry to withstand the
increasing manufacturing costs. The seminar resulted in standardized
suggested minimum prices on PCBs.
For 1.6 mm rigid PCBs with FR-4 laminate and batches of 20 square meters the
suggested prices are as follows: $66.08/sqm for single-sided, $97.26/sqm for
double-sided, $178.30/sqm for four-layer, $274.31 for six-layer, $352.87/sqm
for eight-layer and $461.35/sqm for 10-layer PCBs.
The flexible PCBs with FR-4 and Polyimide film base material and rolled
copper foil are priced as follows: $224.44/sqm for single-sided, $311.72/sqm
for double-sided and $997.51/sqm for four-layer PCBs.
These suggested prices are for standard PCBs only and do not concern PCBs for
military applications.
