Choose from the three service options:

• PCB: This option is only for PCB ordering.           

• PCB + stencil: This option lets you order a stencil alongside the PCB.           

• Stencil: This option is only for stencil orders.            

We can only accept Gerber files for PCB and stencil production.  The gerber files have to be uploaded in zip format.  Gerber file extension should be named as follows:

Gerber Files Required(2-layer):

Note: In the case of one layer PCB, only the top or bottom files are required.

Additional Required Gerber Files for 4-layer production

Note: The number of inner layers increases at more than four layers PCBs.

Typical solder mask color is green. The green is the cheapest color design. Choosing colors other than green brings minimal extra cost.

Width of the printed circuit board in millimeter.

• The width of PCB can be from 6mm to 500mm at single, double and multi layer PCB.
• The height of PCB can be from 6mm to 400mm at single, double and multi layer PCB.

Notes: For the order with a quantity of more than 50pcs, if the board size is smaller than 2x2cm, you need to penalize them to bigger size, otherwise 100% E-test cannot be applied to your individual small pieces.

Typical PCB layer designs

Single és Double layer

4 Layer

Copper Weight

For 2 Layer board, it is 1oz or 2oz copper thickness for your top and bottom layer.

For 4 and 6 layer board, it is 1oz or 2oz for your top and bottom layer, and for the inner layer, the copper thickness is 0.5oz, please note.

Notes:

1. For 1oz board, please make sure a trace width/space of bigger than 5mil for 2 layer board, 4mil for 4/6 layer board.

2. For 2oz board, please make sure a trace width/space of bigger than 8mil for 2/4/6 layer board.

HASL and lead-free HASL

For decades HASL was one of the most popular surface finish choices. While a surface finish may be low cost and robust, fundamental changes in the PCB industry—namely, the rise complex surface mount technology—have exposed its shortcomings. HASL leaves uneven surfaces and is not suitable for fine pitch components. Although it does come in lead-free, there are other lead-free options which will likely make more sense for a high-reliability product.

Electroless Nickel Immersion (ENIG)

ENIG is quickly becoming the most popular surface finish in the industry. It’s a double layer metallic coating, with nickel acting as both a barrier to the copper and a surface to which components are soldered. A layer of gold protects the nickel during storage.  ENIG is an answer to major industry trends such as lead-free requirements and rise of complex surface components (especially BGAs and flip chips), which require flat surfaces. But ENIG can be expensive, and at times can result in what is commonly known as “black pad syndrome,” a buildup of phosphorous between the gold and nickel layers that can result in fractured surfaces and faulty connections.

Note: Panels with 0.4 mm thickness can only be ordered with ENIG surface finish methode.

Stencil is used to mask the PCB when applying the solder paste before reflow soldering.

The stencil can be cut correctly if the Gerber files contain the solder mask layer. The extension of the required Gerber files are .GTP and .GBP.
In absence of the layer the stencil is prepared with automatic methods. In this case we do not take responsibility for the inaccuracy of the stencils.

The stencil thickness is 0.15 mm. The thickness may be thinner if our colleagues think it is better for the application.

Stencils can come with or without framework:

• With framework

• Without framework

The compact stencil is a 200 mm x 190 mm big piece, that comes without framework.

The four options are

• The Top+Bottom (on single stencil) option will place the pattern of the bottom layer and the top layer next to each other, on one stencil. ATTENTION: The valid area has to be twice the size in this case.

• The Top option will place the pattern of the top layer of the board on one stencil.

• The Bottom option will place the pattern of the bottom layer of the board on one stencil.

• The Top+Bottom (on separate stencils) will place the pattern of the bottom layer and the top layer.

Electropolishing, also called BGA plating, is highly recommended for boards with BGAs or ICs with pin to pin spacing that is less thanequal to 0.5mm. The process will help the paste detach from the fine stencil apertures.

Fiducial marks are alignment marks for surface mount assembly machines. Generally, these are a must for machine operation. Not necessary if the parts are places by hand.

You can choose from three different production time options:

• Express - Your order will be made as soon as possible
• Normal - To optimize your costs, we put different orders in one batch arriving in the same week and launch their production together
• Economical - We try to produce your order at the lowest possible cost, thus reducing your expenses.

The expected production time is depending on the actual load. You can find the expected production time in a separate field.

The estimated production time depends on several factors. Typical factors are:

• Ordered PCB quantity
• Number of  layers
• PCB color
• Selected production mode

We try to do our best to keep the production time in place, but it may happen that production may slip for reasons beyond our control.
