Hi,
When I asked a PCB assembly house to solder ICs for me, they asked me for the Gerber files, at least the top and bottom layers.
Could anyone tell me why do they need this? Some of them said they need the Gerber files for applying electric connection test using flying-probe test after soldering, is it true?
And once I have given out the Gerber files to them, how could I prevent the Gerber files (of top and bottom layer) from leaking into any third-party’s hands?
