I read your request for design information on panel layout for V-scoring, and felt the need to respond. Scored PWB's are indeed more efficient to produce and depanel than tab routed PWB's, but there are also drawbacks associated with this method. T

One problem you may have with deeper scoring is not so much broads breaking apart unintentionally, but warping upstream while on the SMT line which can cause sagging. This may give you transport issues from one machine to another, and if you have an

Pete: What�s a "free issue PCB panel"? Is that like "consigned material" here in the states? In response to your question, several possible approaches (in no particular order): 1 Router approach: 1a Wood working router * Go over to Sears and buy a

A couple of things: Does the cap break if you try to remove it with hot air? If not, than you are breaking the caps do to mechanical stress. We have had similar issues. I don't think your board is suffering from mechanical stress from depaneling o

Hi all and thanks for viewing my post! My questions related to the subject line are as follows: 1. Does the Epoxy Solder Mask Layer of a PCB protect against moisture absorption? Is this a primary function of the solder mask? 2. Does exposed FR4 na

It would be helpful to have some additional info on your line and process. Lets make some assumptions... Consider: re-tooling costs for your fab supplier. Can your supplier hold the additional tollerences for a larger panel. Can your supplier fab

Hi Randy, From a bare board manufacturers stand point, scoring is probably faster and easier but has limitations. If your boards are square or rectangle scoring will work fine. Once assembled the scored grooves can be sliced apart using what is some
