Is this what you are looking for? We do this on quite a few boards and it has eliminated component problems from the Cab depaneler (pizza cutter)

Boardhouse: Not to be confruntational, just trying to better understand what you're telling us. When you say, "Standard spacing most board houses would like to see is" blablabla. * What are the units of these dimensions? * You'd like to see these dim

Dave, Sorry for the slow response, have been out of town, The spacing I was referring to was from board edge to copper features. This spacing is required to keep the router and score blades from exposing or hitting the Copper. Regarding the slot I

We use a FKN pizza cutter and found that even with 5mm clearance and the proper orientation of the part larger ceramic capacitors 1812, 1210 would still stress fracture. We have successfully fixed stress fracture problems by adding routed relief slot

FSW, Another suggestions is if you have rail on your product and you are concerned about stress fracturing certain components you could add a routed slot to add relief in that area. So when you snap the rail off their would be no stress in that area

X7R >Z5U,Y5V. Y5Vs crack more than NPOs. Ceramic resonators crack often as well. I found that the chop style like the Fancord VPD5 is the lease stressful of the V-Score cutters. We have run as close as 0.025" to the edges with 0805s with no crack

If you have jobs where you can not, there is a company in Japan that makes the best v-groove depanelers called TST, 'guru's in v-groove depanelising'. Their systems can be supplied to reduce stress on cutting to near zero compared to CAB and other lo

Hai, In our process we are using the micro bga of size 13X13mm of pitch 0.45mm,after soldering process the bga found collapsed, we absorbed that the PCB land pattern of the BGA was not in array, uneven distribution of pads (area) & most of the pads

Opinions. I have a large finned heatsink that we place over a D2pak transistor. This heatsink is designed to heatsink the transistor through the junction of the pad area that the transistor is attached to. The paste pattern we chose was small dots ar
