Options (board products)

There are four options which may be specified for a board product:

Performance class: IPC, in the IPC-601x standards, has defined performance classes as a simple method of specifying tolerances and other quality requirements when manufacturing a PCB. The standard performance class is class 2, which is suitable for most applications. Class 3 is a high-reliability class with very tight requirements and an extensive test and inspection regime intended for extremely demanding applications. Due to the very high cost of class 3 production, Macaos has defined a class 2+ which adds two specific class 3 requirements (hole plating thickness and annular ring) to class 2. Class 2+ provides higher reliability than class 2 with only a moderate cost increase.

Impedance control: If checked, then this product will require impedance control during manufacture. Impedance control is an added cost option.

Disallow manufacturer marking: If checked, then the manufacturer shall not add any identifying marks to the board. This option should not be selected if the board requires UL marks.

Copper shaving not allowed: If checked, then the manufacturer shall not retract copper from board edges or cutouts. Selecting this option implies that copper burrs along edges will be accepted. This option should only be checked in cases where it is necessary that copper extend to the board edges.

Specifications (stencil products)

  • dimensions of the stencil's bounding box
  • global reduction to be applied to stencil openings
  • stencil thickness and type
  • number of openings
  • number of steps (reduced thickness regions)
  • board sides in stencil
  • d-codes of fiducial marks
  • a check box for indicating that the stencil is to be coated
  • a check box for indicating that the stencil is to be polished
  • a check box for indicating that the stencil should have frame edge protection

Specifications (test fixture products)

  • dimensions of the fixtures
  • spacing between the fixture’s mounting holes
  • press point offset
  • mounting hole diameter
  • fixture thickness

  • qty of guide pins and test pins
  • remarks
  • protective cover included
  • qty of connectors
  • PCB location relative to press point
  • Fixture material

Specifications (mechanical part products)
