macgyvers2000: No reason, particularly. A surface mount pin header would work equally as well. I'm just looking for two, single row of 20 pins, 0.100" spacing between the pins. I'll look into this as an option as well. Going the route of surface mount pin headers will probably lower the cost...

Thanks for all your suggestions, people! To answer some of your questions, the prices I mentioned in my above posts were from distributors. I was quoted from three distributors and all came in at about the same price -- unfortunately for me. As for material, so long as it's solderable I'm...

They want 47 cents, per pin, at a quantity of 8000. 8000pcs @ 47cents/ea = $3760.00USD total. This is way beyond what I had intended to pay.

Hey everyone. I thought I'd offer this question to the collective genius that is Eng-Tips. Basically, I've found a part that's perfect for my design. It's manufactured by a company called Mill-Max (http://www.mill-max.com/) and it's basically an aluminum pin-standoff. The only problem is they...

Hello, In the past, I've always hand-routed my boards in software from a netlist and rats-nest. Obviously, it's a tedious and horrible way to do it. Now, I'm looking for a software package to do all that hard work for me. Up until now, I've been using Cadence's Orcad Capture/Layout to make...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I really appreciate the different suggestions. Being that I've never done this before, I'm totally open to suggestion. That being said, I think I'm just going to go the route of machine p-n-p, as macgyvers2000 just suggested. I know, I'll be suffering with the...

Oh yeah. The design incorporates wireless data transmission, so, once firmware is loaded on the device bench testing can be done without a jig (for the most part). I'll look into Accutrace. Thanks for the suggestion, and I'll mention your name as well if I decide to go in that direction. Have...

Thanks for your reply. I don't understand what you mean by "assemblers" though. Are these people who I can send my manufactured PCBs, and purchased parts to simply to manually assemble the boards? Know of any decent assemblers? This doesn't seem like that bad of an idea. I totally agree with...

Hello, As the topic describes, basically I'm looking for a company that can manufacture PCB boards for me. We're talking from the ground up. In a perfect world, I'd like to supply them with Gerber files for the PCB, and Digikey part numbers cross-referenced to component numbers in the Gerber...
