PCB circuit board quotes vary depending on the material, process, number of layers, and other factors, and it is impossible to generalize. However, the PCB circuit boards offered in the store are known for their high quality and reasonable prices.
Material Selection
Base materials: FR4 grades (Shengyi > Kingboard > Guoji)
Thickness options: 0.2-3.0mm (+5-8% cost per 0.2mm increment)
Copper weights: 1/2OZ to 3OZ (35μm-105μm), +40% cost per weight doubling
Surface Finishes
Price ladder: OSP (cheapest) → HASL → ENIG → Gold plating (premium)
Eco-premium: Lead-free processes cost 15-20% more
Design Complexity
Micro-vias: <0.2mm holes add 30% drilling cost
Trace precision: < 4 mil line/space increases price by 50%
Special features: Blind/buried vias start at $30/m² extra
Copper Thickness
Standard: 1OZ (35μm) included
Upgrades: Each additional 1OZ adds 25% cost
