| Hello, | I am looking for suggestions for cleaning pcb's after the routing (fabrication) process. Keep in mind that these pcb do not have components intalled on them yet. | We have considered pre-drilling the routing plunge points, but cost and ca

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

Right!!!! We have built product with via holes only 0.010" off the edge of the routed edge or even routed them in half, which usually adds cost and shorts to the chassis. Most high speed routing has a tolerance of +- 0.005". It's common for UL fi

Looking into options besides routing for a .032" thick board with components located near edges. Has anyone ever tried water jet cutting or other technologies for a high volume, high mix environment.

We are currently running a new product with some very tight tolerances while depaneling. We are using a table top 3 axis robot w/ a drill. My question is what is the min/max distance between a component and the edge of the board? I'm having a hard ti

I have a new contract with boards that have straight edges and are good for v-score breakout panel design. However, many of the traces are very close to the edge of the board so I am concerned that the traces could be damaged when we run them throug

I haven't heard of heating boards pre-depanel either. We have done extensive studies on cracking of ceramic caps close to V-scored edges and have decided to have our board vendors pre-rout any areas with caps close (

We used a similar part and adjusted the routing so that the front edge of the connector was supported and therefore keeping the connector flat and it not being able to tip forward. I don't know if this is something that you can do with your board?

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

I have a small board in a 5x5 array. Thickness is .014". The fist build, the array was all routed with mouse-bites. Customer doesn't like the edge left by the mouse-bites. Board house says they can't v-score a board that thin. I'm not sure what o
