| 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

In general the chains don't need to be heated to 400 deg C for cleaning. In other words, most of the fluxes and constituents in the paste don't collect on the chain and gum it up. Bottom line: the heat treatment is not needed for 95% of the users.

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

Boardhouse, would it be possible to attach a picture of such a routed slot together with a V cut? I was always told the 2 don't work together that well because of tolerances.

We use a FKN pizza cutter and found that even with 5mm clearance and the proper orientation of the part larger ceramic capacitors 1812, 1210 would still stress fracture. We have successfully fixed stress fracture problems by adding routed relief slot

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

We are leaving 12-18 thousands material when scoring. Several components are cracking during depanelization. The pizza cutter machines out there are either too expensive or too slow to solve our problem. I am looking for a magical solution. In case

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 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?

What we did was design or panels with routed out edges held on by tabs. This was very effective. All we use is a pair of pneumatic scissors to cut off the tabs. We are using from single-to 13 layer PCB's and we have had no problems with delamination
