Recently, many customers asked what information PCB proofing needs to provide, today to give you a comprehensive answer.
1. Gerber file
Gerber file is a kind of computer software. It is a set of document formats for PCB industry software to describe PCB (PCB layer, solder mask layer, character layer, etc.) image and drilling and milling data. It is a standard format for PCB industry image
conversion.
2. Sample
That is to say, the physical board that has been made can be directly copied by PCB manufacturers
3. Sample intention
In other words, what kind of board do you want to make, what size, what functions do you want to have, and what to do? Tell PCB manufacturers your general idea, and they will also provide design and production services
4. Software drawing
Use some drawing software to draw or draw manually to show what kind of circuit board and function you want to make
Of course, for PCB designers, it's very simple. Tell them your needs, they can help you design, and then send the design information to the PCB Factory.
Of course, it's OK to make finished products. Many PCB factories have SMT workshops, which can complete PCBA processing services. For example, our factory is a service-oriented production enterprise integrating PCB production + assembly + component purchasing + function testing.
