Full Reels Preferred: Whenever possible, provide full reels to minimize machine downtime and ensure uninterrupted production.
Cut Tape: If cut tape is necessary, it must be at least 5 inches long for proper feeder handling.
Machine Loss: Add 2% for all passive components to account for machine loss, and 4% for 0402 caps and resistors.
Loose Components: Loose parts must be hand-placed, which increases time and cost—please avoid whenever possible.
Labeling: Clearly label reels or trays with the customer part number and a complete component description, including value and part type.
IC Packaging: Integrated Circuits (ICs) should ideally be on tape and reel; however, if tubes are used, ensure all components face the same direction and the tube is properly labeled.
Boards must include fiducials, silkscreen reference markers, and adequate component clearance. Consider panelizing for smaller boards to maximize efficiency.

Fiducials: Boards and panels must include fiducials for accurate alignment during assembly.
Silkscreen: Ensure reference designators and polarity markers are visible on the silkscreen.
Component Clearance: Components should not be placed within 0.080 inches of the edge of the board to avoid damage.
Panelization: For boards smaller than 3x4 inches, consider panelizing. Ideal panel size is approximately 8x10 inches with a 0.25” border.
Double-Sided Boards: For double-sided assemblies, passive components should be placed on the bottom side when possible.
Submit Gerber files, a current BOM, and CAD data for machine programming. Include an audit sheet for any shortages, and consider providing a sample board.
