Has anyone ever depaneled a PCB that is .135" thick using mousebytes? If so, what would be the right drill pattern to use? Thanks in advance Russ

Hi Hopefully someone else will add more. The IPC has some patterns on this topic so you might wish to check their literature. Scoring is another technique. You are pretty thick at .135 so you want to make the drill hits as close as possible, and y

I would suggest scoring if the profile allows, leaving residual material of circa 40 - 50 mil - That is what I do on a 125mil thick PCB width of the pis is approx 200 mil Mouse bites on a board as thick as 135 mil will mean its extremly difficult to

Can anyone point me to a company that can recycle the breakaway material from our PCBs? Thanks

PCB breakaway tabs, such as the borders around panels, often do not have any metal on them. These would have no recycle value. Our local metals recycling company has now started to recycle PCBs, loaded or unloaded. They only pay $0.08 (USD) per po

We have an array of boards that are difficult to depanel due to components being close to the edge. I want to route a space between strips (boards are 14" long x 1" wide) and have breakaway tabs like mouse bites, but the customer won't accept the ja

We've sanded bites before, but with these volumes, it would kill it. Thanks

Could always get a laser cutter to de-panelize with. I've always wanted one, personally...but, haven't been able to cost justify it. ..rob

It can be done and is done all the time. You need to check with your customer about this since you will not have clean square corners along the edge. If they are snapping the boards into a holder they may need the square corners to securely hold th
