I can not tell you what the actual stress limits are. I can tell you that de-paneling PCB's by hand is a very poor choice. I have seen numerous accounts of cracked caps, resistors, and LED�s due to incorrect de-paneling procedures. I would recommend

95%+ of my boards are small and therefore are panelized using the V-score technique. Getting a lot of resistor cracking even though the resistor is layed out to be perpendicular to the long board edge. What dimension should be used from the board e

I have seen resistors cracked during placement. The part was programmed incorrectly and the nozzle pushed down on the part too hard. I do not remember seeing any cracked during depanelization. Nibblers can cause damage if they are on the bottom and

I've seen crack on resistor also.The crack on ICs mainly is on the solder joint due to very high strain.

How are you sepatating your boards out of the panel? If you are flexing them to break the V-score, this could be what is causing the resistors to crack.

We had this same problem several years ago. The caps and resistors were cracking when we snapped the boards apart. We now use a pizza cutter style depanelizer. A couple of manufacturers that I know of are CAB and Fancort. I hope this helps.

Hello, I am a Japanese engineer. I am sorry for my unskillful English. Have you ever encountered cracks in chip resistors or IC components due to board mechanical stress? Especially, I'm looking for a case in the PCBs Depaneling process(pizza cutte

What your said looks like a acrylic coating thermal expansion causes small solder joint crack. Do you cure coating with heating, or heating after curing? Solder joint crack while you see resistor and QFN trouble? Clear and detail description of your

We have some pcb assy's that are panelized and very narrow brds. We feel that some of the smt resistors may be becoming cracked when breaking them apart. Though we are scoring them deeper here and have requested our brd house to score deeper, is ther

Hello all, We just got some board back from thermal shock and we found that several of the 2512 resistors opened up. Actaully the solder joint cracked away from the board. All other coponents look great. Boards were good before test. 10 layer bo
