PCB File Checklist

 
  

    1-Layer PCB Checklist for Gerber Submission (RS-274-X Format Recommend)
  1. Drill file in Excellon Format (Plated and un-plated 2 drill files are the best)  
  2. Copper Layer Gerber File
  3. Soldermask Gerber File (optional)
  4. Silkscren Gerber File (optional)
  5. Board Outline & Milling Layer Gerber File (All cutout and milling is under this single Gerber layer)
  6. Readme.txt (optional, recommended)

Please make sure:
No layers are mirrored; If the PCB need to be V-scored, the clearance to the edge PCB must be 1/4 of the PCB thickness. For example, if the board is 1.6 mm thickness, the clearance must be at least 0.4 mm. If the PCB need not V-scored, it means need to be routed (CNC), the clearance must be at least 0.25 mm. If your files are RS-274-D Gerber format, then please include the aperture file.


    2-Layer PCB Checklist for Gerber Submission (RS-274-X Format Recommend)
  1. Drill file in Excellon Format (Plated and un-plated 2 drill files are the best)  
  2. Top Silkscren Layer (optional)
  3. Top Soldermask Layer (optional)
  4. Top Copper Layer Gerber File
  5. Bottom Copper Layer Gerber File
  6. Bottom Soldermask (optional)
  7. Bottom Silkscreen (optional)
  8. Board Outline & Milling Layer Gerber File (All cutout and milling is under this single Gerber layer)
  9. Readme.txt (optional, recommended)

Please make sure:

    Multi-Layer PCB Checklist for Gerber Submission (RS-274-X Format Recommend)

  2. Top Silkscren Layer Gerber File (optional)
  3. Top Soldermask Layer Gerber File (optional)
  4. Top Copper Layer Gerber File
  5. Internal Layer Gerber Files
  6. Bottom Copper Layer Gerber File
  7. Bottom Soldermask Gerber File (optional)

  9. Board Outline & Milling Layer Gerber File (All cutout and milling is under this single Gerber layer)
  10. Layers Stackup (Layers.txt)
  11. Readme.txt (optional, recommended)
