Subject: How to farm-out small-lot circuit cards?

From: "Don@..." <don@...>

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!
