Data Required
Data Requirements
Data required to design and manufacture complex fixtures.
Please don’t ask us to manufacture complex fixtures without PCB design data, it is possible but stupidly expensive.
Board Data
This is normally Gerber and ideally RS274x (if not, please DO NOT forget the aperture list).
However we can cope with a wide range of formats. The data that we would like
Component Side (Top) | Purpose |
---|---|
Solder Paste | So we can see what not to put board fixings on top of |
Solder Mask | So we can see what is to be soldered |
Silk Screen | So we can guess what you want to reflow |
Solder Side (Bottom) | Purpose |
---|---|
Silk Screen | So we can guess what you want to reflow |
Solder Paste | So we can avoid putting material where your components are |
Solder Mask | So we can avoid leaving you with large icicles on ground planes |
Drill Data | So we know where plated and non-plated through holes are (Don't forget tool list!) |
Other Data | |
Placement Data | For Inspection Overlays |
