A reliable, experienced printed circuit boards supplier knows that errors in PCB files can cause big problems—and also knows how to avoid them.
Collaboration
A good working relationship between the customer and Printed circuit board company is vital to the success of any project. Costly design errors and delays in manufacturing can be prevented by discussing details in advance. Communication is key to avoiding PCB file errors.
Documentation
One way to make sure that what was intended is what will be produced—and that it will work—is to include a .readme text file that explains details which might not be readily interpreted from the Gerber and drill files.
Mechanical/Outline
Including a mechanical/outline ensures an accurate quote and timely production start. Like the text file, this is something which should not be skipped.
Common PCB File Errors
It’s all too easy to design something that cannot be built or will not function properly once it is built. Here are some PCB file errors to be on the lookout for:
Drill Size– If drill holes are smaller than required, there will obviously be problems. If holes are too large, component mounting might not be possible or might require excessive soldering.

Drill Size– If drill holes are smaller than required, there will obviously be problems. If holes are too large, component mounting might not be possible or might require excessive soldering.
Overlapping Drills– Overlapping can break the drill, resulting in an unusable section of the panel. Re-designing and re-drilling will cause unnecessary delays.
Edge Tolerances– Ground planes and circuit traces that are too close to the edge of the board, or to openings, could cause accidental shorting with metal chassis and cases.
