Data Requirements InsulFab can design your custom fixture from any of the Electronic PCB sources below: Note: When sending your data to InsulFab, please zip it into a format compatible with WinZip and label the file with the part number of the circuit board. - eMTest / Fabmaster - .faz
- Valor - .tgz
- ODB++ - The standard for high-level data exchange
- AutoCAD files - .dwg
- Drawing Exchange Format - .dxf
- Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language. - .HPGL
- CAD: ASCII Data - Electronic Design Automation or EDA
- Gerber Data (We use Cam 350 – PCgerber)
Below are eight files needed to design your fixture from Gerber data: - Topside Silkscreen
- Bottom Silkscreen
- Topside Solderpaste
- Bottom Solderpaste
- Topside Soldermask
- Bottom Soldermask
- Assembly or Fabrication File: The fabrication or panel drawing shows the panel layout and PCB dimensions and thickness
- Drill File: Chart of all drilled hole sizes in the PCB
Aperture List: If at all possible, provide the data in an RS274-X format. This form of data has an Embedded Aperture file. If you need to send your Gerber as RS274-D format you must include the Aperture file. Other Requirements: - Height of tallest component on the bottom side of the PCB
- Height of components requiring hold-downs
- Size and location of hardware, if present
- Identify any components, which overhang the board, and whether they are flush to the top of the PCB or under-hang the top to a certain depth
