Just to be clear, the DNI'd parts have no Manufacturer name, P/N, and the description is set to "Do Not Install"; the reference designator is filled in with all the locations that are such.  I have had assembly persons ask about part locations that were not listed on the BOM.

The best method Shawn is the components that will not be populated do not show in the BOM. Why should they be there, as they will require removal at the assembly level anyways?

Objet : Re: [TN] PCB parts that are not installed



DNI is used normally used for the specific assembly process.  



An SMT part may need to be installed after SMT for clearance of selective solder height reasons.  



The kitting department needs to know which kit to put the part: SMT, pre-wave, post wave, mechanical or test. 



 If the customer has the part on the BOM then it has to be purchased and kitted but in the correct kit. 



 Occasionally there may be a manufacturing deviation to send a part with the board separately when there was a design or part spec problem on the prototype. 



Hope this helps.

Subject: [TN] PCB parts that are not installed 



Quick question: What is the best method of specifying parts that are not 

installed on a PCB assembly?  I've used "DNI" for a while, while others 

have used "TBD" or "DNK" (for Do Not Kit).  "TBD" was used for locations 

which would be stuffed after some testing--maybe 1.01k had to be used on 

this assembly, 1.05k on another, etc. 



What is typical method on this?  For parts that are intentionally not 

installed, and parts that may be installed at a later date. 



Also, just to verify: is it generally desirably to list all parts that 

are not installed on a board?  I usually list all parts, installed or 

not, and the parts not installed are specifically listed as "Do Not 

Install", so as to make it clear that they are DNI'd.
