In a recent survey, we asked the following question: What steps do you take to make the job easier for your fabrication and assembly providers? Here are a few of the answers, edited slightly for clarity.
- Try not to overly constrain the CM and board shop.
- Tracks and gaps should be no smaller than they need to be.
- Communicate.
- A 1:1 paste mask file.
- Implement test constraints from test engineers to enable test fulfillment.
