PCB ASSEMBLY / ENGINEERING & PROCUREMENT
SMT Assembly
Connect placement data, stencil planning and reflow requirements.
Start with these checks
- Check the origin, units and rotation convention in the placement export.
- Review package-specific land patterns and assembly guidance.
- Define inspection for visible and hidden solder joints separately.
Turn the review into a build decision
Keep decisions in the approved build package rather than scattered across messages. Identify the board revision, the person responsible for the decision and any conditions the assembler must follow. Where a process limit or standard applies, confirm the current requirement with the responsible manufacturer or specification owner.
Continue the project review
Review smt assembly. Use the file checklist to keep the release complete and the templates and tools to organize the handoff.
