Excellent "mini book" on PCBA DFM guidelines

WBA Consulting

Just got the email for the latest SMT Magazine ePDF and found some links for some new mini eBooks of interest. One in particular is on a topic that I live and breathe every day: DFM for PCBAs (Design For Manufacturing) For those that do not know, I am the Engineering Manager for an EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Services) provider and on average, I see about 8-10 new PCBA designs each month. Implementing processes for these designs in production is what my team does, so when designs include DFM issues or violations, we have to adjust processes to accommodate or compensate for these issues. (OEMs aren't always open to involving EMS providers during the design phase to prevent DFM issues)

Here's the link to the DFM mini book. It does a reasonably solid job at summarizing many topics that I face every day with PCBA designs:

It does require filling out a form, but it is worth it.

Here is a link to the SMT Magazine eBook. It's a great monthly publication:
