Definitions

Bill of Material: This is a list of Part Numbers, Part Description, Reference Locations, and Component Package Sizes that go into your PC Board Assembly.

CAD Data: This is the electronic file that was used to design your Circuit Board. (Note: It takes 4 – 5 times as long to program a Pick and Place without this data)

Gerber Data: This is the electronic data the PC Board manufacturer uses to construct the PC board. It contains a list of all the layers, an Aperture list and a Drill Rack.

Best Manufacturing practices will be used to build both prototype and production runs. This will ensure we provide the highest quality products at the lowest possible cost.

Non-Recurring Engingeering Charges
In order to process your printed circuit boards there may be " one time" NRE charges that may appear on your quote. These charges are a “not to exceed” figure. Your actual charges will be based on our costs. Common charges include, but art not limited to, the following :

SMT Stencil Charges – this is the stencil used to apply solder to your PWB. Large, two sided boards may need a stencil for each side, top and bottom.

Vendor Tooling – most common is the tooling and test fixtures associated with circuit board production.

Process Setup – programming, profiling and first time production parameters for assemblies.

Assembly Tools – tools required to produce the PC boards and /or your assembly.

Test Engineering – programming and setup of required testing for the PC boards and / or assembly.

Details of NRE charges will be provided upon written request.
