Before any body gets upset, I said before I used the wrong price calculator. The present mixer/counter takes up 4.3 by 5.3 inches, can be separated into two boards and in 100 qty would be $ 9.60 with silk screen and solder mask.

(their website doesn't say) I think the cost that was previously cited includes all the parts on the board. And might include a variety of manufacturing incidentals that all add up, too. Some board houses automatically do the post mfr continuity tests, for instance. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
