What Protel files needed to send for fabrication and assembl

For Protel program, after schematic and layout, what files do I need to send out for PCB fabrication and then circuit board assembly?

I need sort of to plan ahead.

What are other files that needed to be generated for the process from layout to the entire board manufacturing?

Thank you.

Normally for the PCB Fabrication you require the Gerber Files of each and every layer you used in your Layout, the NC Drill File which contains the hole dimensions and the coordinates.In addition to these you may require the assembly drawing and the mechanical layer diagram if you used that layer.
Thanking You.

Re: What Protel files needed to send for fabrication and ass

Your PCB fabricator will need the Gerber files for each layer including top and bottom solder mask, the NC drill file, a Drill Drawing that includes any special instructions including your desired stackup, and it's a good idea to include the drill report file (.drr).

Your assembly house will need the top and bottom assembly drawings to show all component designators so they can figure out what component goes where. If you used surface mount components, they may also need a pick-and-place file. For surface mount they will most likely also want the top and bottom paste masks.

Instead of asking a bunch of strangers here what you will need, you would do better to call your fab and assembler. They can tell you exactly what they expect. Every fab and assembly house does things a little differently. The basics stay the same, but the particulars will be different.
