THIEF RIVER FALLS, MN -- Digi-Key Electronics has launched a manufacturing service aimed at hobbyists, makers and students to quote, source and order smaller quantities of printed circuit boards.

DKRed is a quickturn feature in the component distributor's PCB Builder tool. The minimum order quantity is four, and the boards must be double-sided FR-4 and range in size from 25 x 25mm (1x1") to 254 x 254mm (10 x 10").

Digi-Key is charging $1.50 per sq. in. for a 10-day turn. DKRed is currently available to all customers and boards ship free to all 50 US states, with delivery charges to Europe.

“With the launch of DKRed, Digi-Key is further committing to its mission of being a one-stop shop for turning a concept into reality for all customers,” said Missy Hall, senior director, new market development, Digi-Key. “We are proud to enhance our PCB Builder tool to ensure that all stages in the design and development journey are supported, from design to prototyping, sourcing and beyond.”
