Dave, Sorry for the slow response, have been out of town, The spacing I was referring to was from board edge to copper features. This spacing is required to keep the router and score blades from exposing or hitting the Copper. Regarding the slot I

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

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

X7R >Z5U,Y5V. Y5Vs crack more than NPOs. Ceramic resonators crack often as well. I found that the chop style like the Fancord VPD5 is the lease stressful of the V-Score cutters. We have run as close as 0.025" to the edges with 0805s with no crack

If you have jobs where you can not, there is a company in Japan that makes the best v-groove depanelers called TST, 'guru's in v-groove depanelising'. Their systems can be supplied to reduce stress on cutting to near zero compared to CAB and other lo

We're having trouble with a TO-252 DPAK from Fairchild (MC7805CDT) and our existing land pattern. The land pattern calculator on the IPC site doesn't have anything available that matches it (there are no TO-252's available on the pull downs), and I'

The IPC-EM-782 reads as follows: the adjustment factor is usually intended to increase the Z dimension slightly, but brings the Z maximum up to an even equivalent. Example if Zmax is 2.100mm then you would enter an adjustment factor of .100mm. The ad

Dave, you are THE master of the search. I made the lame assumption that if they'd had layout specs. for a part, it would be part of the spec. Bad assumption. The layout for the decal from that page you linked to is exactly what I needed. I look

Thanks, Larry, more good info. I think my designer has that spec. in his library. What we DID find that while we had the proper pattern called out in our in house spec. sheet for the part, the designers don't look at the spec. sheets. They just grab
