I don't know any place that will let you prepanelize and also do gold
fingers. Which fab is that?
Prepanelization would make the module PCBs *much* more affordable.
Vince Hmm. I get $5 per board, and that's assuming
you can get quantity 100 of
each of the module types! For a single replica, you'd pay more per board.
I didn't get prices around $2 until quantities closer to 250 per design.
Unless you know some place a lot cheaper than I do.
Say $.25 to $.50 per sqr inch 4 layer. Contact fingers extra but not a
whole lot, Pre-panelized (say 100 1x2" breakaway pcbs on a 14X18 panel)
maybe 10,000 sq inches purchase qty (50 panels).
