When you want to make a PCB, what informations are necessary to provide to the PCB manufacturer?

I am a mechanical designer. I have sent my PCB design file to manufacturer. But they said the data may be not enough. So what data are you used to send to your PCB manufacturer.
  • Dimensions of the PCB
  • Thickness
  • Drill chart
  • Layer construction
  • Shape Diagram
  • Gerber Data
  • Special finishing requirement.
  • Panel Diagram

What equipment is used by professional PCB manufacturers?

This month we plan to find a proper suppliers to produce PCB for our new products, a healthcare watch. One of our supplier assessment items is about production equipment, which I know few about them. Can you share some common equipment which professional factory may use?

How do you mount electronics on a vehicle chassis safely?

I want to implement a control system I designed for a light electric motorbike. I would like to mount it as professionally as possible on the chassis. It consists of a power system pcb and a SAMC21 development board which I’ll merge later once this all works properly. I have tried screwing it directly on the aluminium chassis but have found that shocks and vibrations from the horn disturbed the system or even destroyed it upon large shocks. Is there a specific way car and motorcycle manufacturers mount their electronics to make their system as robust as possible?
