    In order to process your order properly, the following information is needed at order entry:

    * Data files uploaded must be formatted in Gerber 274X (Imbedded Aperture Files) or Gerber 274D (Separate Aperture File) .

    * NC Drill Files (Excellon format)* Drill Chart & Drill Type REQUIRED (Plated and non-plated)

     

    Fabrication Drawings/notes detailing:

    * Material Type

    * Board Thickness

    * Layer count

    * Multi-layer construction if applicable

    * Dimensions for part and route features

    * Array/panelization drawing if applicable

    * Surface Finish Type

    * Number of Solder Masks /Color/type

    * Number of Legends/location/Color

    * Special process parameters and requirements

     

     

    Fab drawings may be supplied in the following format:

    * HPGL files

    * Adobe PDF

    * Autodesk DXF

    * Autodesk DWG

     

    Incomplete files or deviations between the Fabrication drawing/data and quotation could jeopardize lead-time. Please indicate emergency contact number for short lead-time orders in your order entry profile.

     

    File Naming Rules

    * All files included in ZIP file must be named with 10 characters max, made up of LETTERS AND NUMBERS ONLY, and NO SPACES followed by a period and three letter extension

    * The simplest naming procedure would be to name the files by their layer position:

     

    *  *TopLegend.gbr;

     

    * TopMask.gbr;

     

    * Topcirc.gbr;

     

    * Botcirc.gbr;

     

    * BotMask.gbr;

     

    * BotLegend.gbr;

     

    * NCdrill.drl

    *Please Note: We highly recommend using this format. It greatly increases file accuracy, speeds up quote time and allows for easier manufacturing.

    * Please be sure to keep all Zip File names unique, as we receive hundreds of Zip files on a daily basis.

     

    Zip File Content

    * Gerber Formats RS274X (Imbedded Apertures) are preferred! Gerber RS274D (Separated Apertures) are accepted but may be subject to a $35.00 charge for additional engineering time. We highly recommend the use of Gerber RS274X, which does not require the separate output of aperture files. Please remember to send a single, comprehensive aperture list for all 274D files, as opposed to sending an individual aperture file for each 274D file.

    * All other files containing Fabrication information and specifications should be in PDF, DXF, DWG and HPGL format. Other formats are not acceptable.

    * All drill files (NCD files) must be in Excellon format.

    * The Fabrication information must include a board outline (dimensionally labeled), Drill pattern, Drill chart, plated and non-plated information and pertinent manufacturing specifications.

    * Text files ("ReadMe.txt" files) can be submitted containing manufacturing notes/special process notes, contact information and layer description
