DFM guidelines represent the first step in a smooth and trouble-free production process.
These documents provide your technical team with the specifications they'll need in order to optimize our assembly process. That way, your boards fit into our assembly process, and you get the seamless production and zero-defect final population you expect.
We've provided DFM guidelines for every key stage in the process, each in an easily downloadable PDF file. For your convenience, we've also included specifications for some of the common resistors, diodes, transistors, and capacitors loaded on our machines.
Once you've had a chance to look at them, feel free to give us a call, so we can help you define the critical areas of PCB panelization, tooling holes and fiducial marks.
