PCB Layout

      SAMTRONIX Engineering is offering a PCB Layout and schematic capturing services which emphasize design skills far beyond regular PCB designers and CAD drafters.

     Projects are managed by an experienced electrical engineer to define current and heat distribution, EMI, cross-talks and preparation of manufacturing documentation.

      In addition we can create 3D STEP file to represent the PCB in mechanical designs.

     Here are the three necessary files we need to start a PCB Layout:

Netlist generated by schematic capturing software. Netlist is a library of component parameters, NETs and nodes representing   your schematic. If you don’t have netlist, we can capture a schematic from a hard-copy or a hand drawing sketch and generate all necessary files from there.

BOM Bill of Materials should clearly represent complete manufacturer part numbers with links for footprint information. Part numbers should include all prefixes and suffixes for packaging info.

Board outlines drawing Preferably in DXF, or any other form of drawings with dimensioned outline details. If you are using CAD software, be sure you are set to 1x1 scale for DXF export. Most common mistake is to generate DXF without paying attention to export options. Usually they are not set to a 1x1 scale by default and the generated file will become useless for us.

Additional information can help us to save you time and money.

  • Layout instructions

  • Schematic drawings in Altium ( *.sch, *.schdoc), PADS (*.P) or Orcad (*.dsn) files.

  • Mechanical drawings in Solidworks (*.sldpart, *.sldasm), IGES or STEP format

  • Components datasheets in PDF or links to datasheets from a manufacturer website.

  • Any additional information you may provide can help us with your application.

 

        In many cases we can expedite incoming order or you can order rush service at flexible rate. 

This is the standard package we deliver:

  • Fabrication Drawings in PDF format......................Basic fabrication drawings demo (link)

  • Drill Drawing in PDF format..................................Basic drill drawing demo (link)

  • Gerber package.

  • NC Drill file

  • PCB layout file in Altium  format*

  • PCB layout in multilayer .DXF & .DWG format

 

Optional documents we can provide:

  • Schematic file in Altium format

  • Professionally generated BOM in Ms.Excel format.

  • 3D assembly model with components in STEP format....View demo image. (link)

 

    Most of today's PCB Layout applications are supporting import of Altium formatted files.
