I'm seeking input from the various people that
have in recent times
made PCBs to plug into old microcomputers and minicomputers using PCB
edge card connectors. There are quite a few companies (and coops)
that offer very inexpensive PCB fab service, even in low volumes,
particular for double-sided PCBs (vs. multilayer). However, I haven't
found a PCB fab house that offers any reasonable deal on low volume
runs of PCBs with plating of hard-gold over nickel edge connectors.
Has anyone found a vendor that does?
I use E-Teknet in Arizona almost exclusively. They are
quite reasonable for
generic boards. They DO charge extra for gold fingers. I
haven't had any
gold finger boards done recently, but I think it will add
$50 - $100 to the
cost of a small lot of boards.
