01 / ARTICLE SECTION
Use One Identified Revision
A board drawing, BOM and placement file describe different aspects of an assembly. Start by identifying the intended revision across the file set.
This editorial example is a document-preparation outline, not a complete SMT engineering checklist.
02 / ARTICLE SECTION
Connect BOM and Placement Data
Component references and placement data should be discussed together. Identify open questions about part selection, orientation or the relationship between the BOM and layout.
Do not assume that a board image contains enough information to define an assembly instruction.

03 / ARTICLE SECTION
Clarify the Assembly Scope
Explain whether the enquiry includes component sourcing, bare-board fabrication or assembly only. Bring the inspection brief into the same conversation.
The exact sourcing, assembly and verification requirements remain subject to the project review.
04 / ARTICLE SECTION
Prepare a Connected File Set
Prepare the files that describe the intended build and list any unresolved questions. A concise project overview helps explain the application context.
Confirm the necessary documents and the file-sharing method with the project contact before sending confidential design material.
- BOM with component references
- Placement and assembly drawings
- Board fabrication data and revision
- Sourcing scope, quantity and inspection requirements
