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

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

Years ago it was common to see 2-3mm keep out areas around BGAs. Now with boards being so densely populated there are no clearance minimums. Regardless if the machine is using convection or IR heating, parts can be reworked without affecting adjace

Assuming agressive design rules what is the minimum distance I can get away with between the board edge and a SMT pad and between the board edge and a plated mounting hole ??? (The board is only 1"x2" and the mounting holes are 80 mil dia, 125 mil

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

| I have a recent design (1 component side only) that calls for 2 surface mounted antenna's (brass plated) to be mounted on a PCB. The problem arises when the PCB is 18x11.25 and has 15 to 20 PCB's in the pallet (IE weight, fixturing to hold the ant
