Eurocard is an IEEE standard format for printed circuit board (PCB) cards that can be plugged together into a standard chassis which, in turn, can be mounted in a 19-inch rack. The chassis consists of a series of slotted card guides on the top and bottom, into which the cards are slid so they stand on end, like books on a shelf.
The name Excellon format is derived from the company Excellon Automation (not to be confused with Excellon Software), which was the market leader in PCB drilling and routing machines during the 1980s, and whose proprietary format became widely used. There are actually two Excellon formats, the older Excellon 1 and Excellon 2.
Clearance between package body and PCB. H Height of package from pin tip to top of package. T Thickness of pin. L Length of package body only. L W Pin width. L L Pin length from package to pin tip. P Pin pitch (distance between conductors to the PCB). W B Width of the package body only. W L Length from pin tip to pin tip on the opposite side.
The EMN File contains the PCB outline, the position of the parts, positions of holes and milling, keep out regions and keep in regions. The EMP file contains the outline and height of the parts. Some CAD software allows the use of a map file to load more detailed part models. [2]
AMC.0 is the "base" or "core" specification. The AdvancedMC definition alone defines a protocol agnostic connector to connect to a carrier card or a backplane. Intermediate revisions are known as engineering change notices, or ECNs. [1] R1.0 adopted January 3, 2005 ECN-001 adopted June 2006
The Gerber format is an open, ASCII, vector format for printed circuit board (PCB) designs. [1] It is the de facto standard used by PCB industry software to describe the printed circuit board images: copper layers, solder mask, legend, drill data, etc. [2] [3] [4] The standard file extension is .GBR or .gbr [1] though other extensions like .GB, .geb or .gerber are also used.
These are standard file formats accepted by PCB fabrication companies, but given EAGLE's typical user base of small design firms and hobbyists, many PCB fabricators and assembly shops also accept EAGLE board files (with extension .BRD) directly to export optimized production files and pick-and-place data themselves.
PCB manufacturing typically starts with a so-called core, a basic double-sided PCB. Layers beyond the first two are stacked from this basic building block. If two more layers are consecutively stacked from bottom of core, you can have a 1-2 via, a 1-3 via and a through hole. Each type of via is made by drilling at each stacking stage.
