Data Needed to Provide a Quote
Schematics:
Schematics are required to understand the electrical connectivity of the board. Schematics are also used to determine areas of concern with respect to the board's testability. A "Readable" printed copy is the preferred format, but we can process electronically supplied files like Postscript, PDF, EDIF, DXF, HPGL, DWG, and OrCAD's, DSN.
Assembly Drawings:
These drawings are used to identify component placement. In addition, we can determine devices that may cause fixturing problems i.e.: bottom side connectors, connectors extending beyond the edge of the board, switches needing tests mounted on the bottom of the board. Printed copy works best.
Bill of Materials (BOM):
This should include reference designators, part numbers, values, & tolerances. An electronic ASCII or Excel copy works best for this data.
CAD Data:
The
requested ASCII
formatted file contains the intelligent data of
the board such as: 1) Location Reference,
2) X & Y Coordinates,
3) Theta (Part Rotation),
4) Part Number (Reference to BOM),
5) Package Style,
6) PCB Mount Side (Top/Bottom)
and 7) Component Technology (SMT vs. PTH).
Listed below are the most common CAD files needed for
evaluation for a quote. If CAD systems are not on the list
