Data Transfer Options

Secure PCB Data Transfer

Your PCB design data is critical to a successful quotation and manufacturing build. Westak provides several options for transferring design files, drawings and supporting documentation to our team. Choose the transfer method that best matches the type and sensitivity of your data.

Westak's secure file transfer system is the preferred method for sending ITAR, EAR, export-controlled or other sensitive design information. When submitting export-controlled data, please clearly identify the files as export controlled before transfer.

A Westak-assigned User ID and password are required to access our secure file transfer system. Need access? Contact your Westak Customer Service Representative or email Westak Sales for login information.

​Secure File Transfer:
sftp.westak.com

After uploading your files, please notify your Westak contact that the transfer is complete and include:
  • Company name
  • Part number and revision
  • Quantities required
  • Requested lead time
  • Any special instructions
Convenient Upload for Standard RFQsFor standard, non-export-controlled PCB quote requests, files can be uploaded directly through our online Request for Quote form.

The RFQ portal allows you to provide your design data along with the information our team needs to prepare your quotation.

RFQ Portal 

​Please do not use the RFQ upload portal for ITAR or other export-controlled design data. Use Westak's secure file transfer option instead.
For Non-Export-Controlled FilesSmaller, non-export-controlled files and supporting documentation may be emailed to Westak Data Control and your Customer Service Representative.

Send files to:
Data Control
[email protected]

​Please include the applicable part number and revision in the subject line or message.
For large files, sensitive information or export-controlled data, please use Westak's secure file transfer system.

What Should I Send?

Export-Controlled Data

Providing complete design information helps Westak prepare a more accurate quotation and reduces engineering questions once your order enters production.
Whenever applicable, include:
  • Fabrication drawing
  • Gerber RS-274X or ODB++ design data
  • NC drill files
  • IPC-D-356A netlist
  • Stackup and controlled impedance requirements
  • Panelization requirements
  • Customer specifications
  • Part number and revision
  • README file with special instructions or design changes
For additional guidance, visit our PCB Tooling Package Guidelines.
Sending ITAR, EAR or other export-controlled information?

​Please clearly identify any files or portions of the data package that are subject to export-control restrictions and use Westak's secure data transfer method.

If you are unsure which transfer method to use, contact your Westak representative before sending the data.

Include a README File

Ready to Send Your PCB Data?

​A README file is recommended with your design package, particularly when files contain special manufacturing instructions, ECO changes or revisions that may not be obvious from the fabrication drawing.
Helpful information includes:
  • Part number and revision
  • Primary engineering contact
  • Description of included files
  • Special manufacturing instructions
  • ECO or revision information
  • Intentional opens or shorts, when applicable
  • Other information our engineering team should know
​Whether you are requesting a quotation, submitting a new design or providing updated manufacturing files, our team can help make sure your information reaches the right people securely and efficiently.
