Dear all, We have a PCB design mistake that causes exposed copper layers on the edges of breakaway locations. Although we fixed the design, but we already made a lot of boards plus many made before we found the problem. I wonder if any one have some

Dennis, I've seen this before, and in our case we didn't need to seal the edges because there was no concern of shorting or anything in the end product, this is a choice you will have to make, Does your end product have any protrusions or mounting h

Bingo!!! By panelizing and adding breakaway rails (as Nancy says), Stuart can pour copper up to his board fab's tolerance from the board edge. Traditionally, he just wants to make sure no copper shows on the edge of the board. Then again, it's his

Stuart, My suggestion is a DFM meeting (most of the process people dream about a meeting like this, and luckily, I've been to a few) with: - project manager (if there's one) - customer service rep (annual volume, lot size, product life) - smt proce

What is the ideal component edge to board scored edge clearance?

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 am having problem with plated hole-copper spacing. I don't know if the gap between plated hole and copper can meet the capacity of PCB manufacturers. My board have 0.5oz copper weight on outer layer and distance of 0.177MM between plated hole and c

I remember reading a magazine article a few years ago that discused using the copper area of a pcb to transfer heat away from large SMT devices. Does anyone know of this article or something similar that I can obtain. The article covered copper area,
