Relay Removal PCB Redesign
Budget: $10 – $20 USD
I have a finished PCB for an embedded controller and now need a precise edit: two signal relays (IC13 – IMB03CGR and IC14 – IM03GR) must disappear, with their switching paths turned into permanent connections that keep every original function intact. All design source files—schematic layout, libraries, Gerbers, BOM—are ready for you, so you can jump straight into analysis.
What I expect from you
• Examine the present schematic and board to confirm exactly how each relay steers its signals.
• Decide the correct net-to-net routing once the relays and any now-redundant drivers are gone (no blind shorts, please).
• Edit the schematic, update the PCB traces or drop in 0 Ω links where necessary, then run DRC/ERC to be sure nothing else breaks.
• Regenerate fabrication outputs (Gerber, BOM, Pick-and-Place) that I can send straight to the board house.
• Deliver a detailed written report explaining every change and its electrical impact.
I’m happy to hear additional improvement ideas if they clearly add value; otherwise keep the rest of the design as is.
Tools: work in the original CAD package supplied (Altium.—I’ll provide the full project folder).
If you’ve done relay-to-solid routing conversions or similar re-spins before, this should be quick work—accuracy is more important than speed.
