[sdiy] Does anyone here use JLCPCB for SMD assembly ?

[Erik Dower]

That’s a pretty high success rate! Unfortunately my experience hasn’t been so good. I definitely saw plenty of diodes installed with reverse polarity and although that happens less often now, it’s still dependent on a human on the other side correcting the orientation. I have had to exchange several emails correcting their corrections for a single board.

Most recently they delivered an expensive prototype with an IC rotated 180º incorrectly, found after many hours of stressful head scratching. Of course they think I should be a happy customer again with a $10 coupon to make up for it.

When their system works it’s great, but if a human is involved it is a total gamble.
