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)

Solder Paste
Solder Mask
Silk Screen

Solder Side (Bottom)

Silk Screen
Solder paste.
Solder Mask
Drill Data


Placement Data

 

so we can see what not to put board fixings on top of.

so we can see what is to be soldered



so we can guess what you want to reflow.
so we can avoid putting material where your components are.
so we can avoid leaving you with large icicles on ground planes.
so we know where plated and non-plated through holes are.
(Don't forget the tool list!)
