For the cost estimation of contract electronics manufacturing services, the following documentation must be provided:

Assembly of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Module

Mandatory:

  1. Assembly drawing (with indicated reference designators and mounting requirements).
  2. Bill of materials (BOM) or component list (should include the name/value of each component, reference designator, and quantity).

Recommended:
3. PCB file.
4. Gerber files (with technical parameters).

Cable Products

  1. Assembly drawing with requirements.
  2. Specification with a list of all components, wire lengths, etc.
  3. Wiring table.

PCB Fabrication

  1. Gerber files (all layers, drill file, and structure for multilayer boards).
  2. Technical parameters:
    • Material type (default: FR-4);
    • Material thickness (default: 1.5 mm);
    • Copper thickness (default: 1 Oz);
    • Type of final surface finish (PbSn, Pb-free, Au);
    • Solder mask color, if critical (default: green);
