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
