Q. What types of data are accepted?
A. Gerber Data or a physical PCB sample. Please include the following in your Gerber data package: Dimensioned Fabrication Drawing Assembly Drawing Top and Bottom Silkscreens Bottom Soldermask Bottom Solderpaste Aperture List (If RS274-X Gerber data is submitted, this file is not necessary since the aperture list in this type of Gerber data is embedded) Readme File Image files (such as JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PDX etc.) are useful for viewing PCBs, but not for programming DMI will accept a physical PCB for designing a pallet. In this instance, a solder test board (with a component list for the heights of each component) can be sent to DMI for pallet design. However, the plated through holes which are to be exposed to the wave needs to be marked. This method will take additional time and will incure a small set up charge.
