Brad- The Spec can be downloaded free from IPC at http://www.smema.org/smema1.2.pdf (or IPC.org search for SMEMA Standards). As per Conveyor edge clearance should be .187" or 4.7mm. Regards, Cal Communications Test Design, Inc. www.ctdi.com

What is the ideal component edge to board scored edge clearance?
Electronics Forum | Wed Oct 01 23:40:38 EDT 2003 | bradlanger
I was wondering if anybody could tell me what a good clearance would be for board designs to allow for the use of inline equipment? My company currently runs a batch line but I want to make sure we are designing properly for inline if the need arises

There's no easy answer. It depends on: * Thickness and size of the PCB in the array. * Means of separation. * Type of component. SMT components are more sensitive to the forces that need to be applied to separate the PCB. * Type SMT device. Ceram

I have been able to have endless loop edge conveyor belts made for me at Sparks Belting Company. http://www.sparksbelting.com/

I have ordered 3/16th and 1/4 from McMaster Carr in the past. you buy it bulk cut it at an angle and melt it together. I think its Mcmastercarr.com and look into belts or conveyor belting you should be able to find it online there.

Thanks Bruce. This method is working good for me, for now anyway. I'll have to see how good my splices hold up over time.
