How to farm-out small-lot circuit cards?
2010-12-30 by Don@groupKOS.com
Hi techies, I'm working on a theory and an electronic design to test it --and it's way out there and not relevant here. I am finding the details to properly construct a smallest-possible inductive/capacitive footprint for a circuit card to mount directly on the coils of an experimental heavy-amperage coil involved with magnetic pinch research of a different type (bench top, not a billion dollar project). I don't know how to design the board, but I'm hoping to find some help. I would like to farm-out the circuit cards, and invest only in the assembly equipment without the circuit card equipment, time, and learning curve to do a bang-up, hot-looking circuit card. However, I can only afford small-lot quantities under one or two hundred dollars. What advise does anyone have? In addition to the GaN power-switch card above, I want to devise a simple three-phase low-voltage (around 10 volts) high-amperage (100 amps) pulse driver that will be mounted in a typical project box. What I'd like is to have a quality of farmed-out circuit card that would sell as a kit without user-complaints, and of course assemble components myself for complete units. Thanks for sharing whatever sage advise anyone may offer, and... Happy new year! DonEMitchell in AZ What retired programmers become with too much time to kill.
