The following data is required for manufacturing purposes. Below are examples and brief explanations of what we require:
XY Data / Pick and Place Data
This file gives the placement position of each part in 'Mil' or 'mm'. It is normally a TXT or CSV file which is generated by the PCBCAD layout package.
This data can be either in Imperial or Metric format although Metric is preferred.
Note: On FIGURE 1, the gravitational centre of the part is the point at which the SMD machine will place the component. i.e. The component reference should be in the centre of the part.
See FIGURE 1A as an example of what this file must include.
