Pat, I have worked very successfully with a company named "Adaptive Cicuits". They have had the cleanest boards thus far from a medium quantity supplier, that I have seen. I am with Echostar Comm. Corp, and approve PWB vendors on a regular Basis. I can speak for both Cost Effectiveness as well as quality/flexibility, when I speak of Adaptive Circuits. Dave Izett has been a very effective, and thorough part of this business relationship, and I suggest his Organization Highly !!. We normally build boards in Colorado, but also needed to look elsewhere to fill our needs. Adaptive has filled that void with ZERO defects Thus far. We are building to 6/6 - 4lyr - with E.test on a regular basis. I hope you will enjoy talking with him. I wil also copy this e-mail to him FYI. Happy Trails ! Les Beller. info: SanJose. Adaptive Circuits Dave Izett 408-923-6200 x427 I need some help. Lifeline Systems is in the midst of a search for quality, yet cost effective PCB vendors. We have heard that the West Coast vendors are very competitive in their pricing without sacrificing quality. Lifeline's pcb's are mostly double sided, 8/8, mixed SMT and thru-hole. We have one pcb that is single sided SMT. Has anyone had experience using the West Coast vendors and if that experience was positive, would you share the names of these comapnies with a contact person. We are planning to be in the Santa Clara area mid-April and would like to visit as many of these vendors as possible. Thanks for your help.
