what is a Manufacturing Fee?

manufacturing fee or production fee varies and depends on whether you have ordered a new design, a repeat of an existing design, the first in a production design, or a repeat in a production design.

  • For your first order, on a new design, the initial manufacturing fee is $1,999. This covers setup costs for fab design, stencils, and SMT programming.
  • On repeat orders for a design that has been built before, the repeat manufacturing fee is $999. Repeat manufacturing setup fees apply to reorder requiring no change to the PCB fab
  • On orders going to production, the initial production fee is $499.

Orders in production are subject to a minimum of 51 units and have no manufacturing setup fee.
