Required Files

In order for us to produce your circuit boards there is some information that we require:
  • Gerber data for at least the top and bottom layers of your design. If you require soldermasks, legends or are ordering a multi-layer design then additional Gerber data will be needed for those layers as well.
  • Excellon drill data for the board
  • A way to contact the board's designer just in case there are design or production issue that need clarification
  • An address to ship the finished boards to. We use FedEx as our exclusive international carrier.
  • A method of payment - we accept VISA or MASTERCARD or a PO number if you have an approved Net 30 account with us.
  • An indication of which features and services you require

The last four requirments are handled by filling out our order form. Gerber and Excellon data files will be output from your CAD program. We prefer RS274X Gerber data if possible and Excellon files with imbedded tool lists are also preferred.

After filling out the order form, please remember to zip it along with your data files together into a single archive file.
