adapter definition example

The adapter definition is the most complexe production tool, it contains all standard cases for special testing routines e.g. high voltage checks or vacuum systems. Special handling for connectors, LED Checks, switches or press buttons included.

You can handle stops and fixing elements as well as routings for high components and down holder or supporting stamps. After defining all important elements it is possible to add an example adapter panel to export the adapter package for one DFT Session.

The export contains additional files to create 3D modells like this:

(3D view contains PCB, models for fixing pins, extra electronic and the adapter case)

New Beta Feature Routing Export as ONE STEP file!

It is now possible to combine complete plate stacks for one side in one step file, you get different depth values in the plate for each routing level. You can use the export for 3D printing or import it in other tools. The new stackup definition system is more flexible and gives user better options to define the routing depth.
Note this is a beta feature and only available after V17.1
