Min spacing will be 0.75'' on all the 4 edges

Here's what we suggest: * Keep a 5-mm space between a board edge and a ceramic capacitor. * Mount the capacitor parallel relative to the edge. * Design pads about a half of the termination. * Fixture the board when using your pizza cutter.

Thnx Dave! I have not seen anyone as yet using fixtures to support brds while using Pizza cutters. Will check it out.

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.

Is this what you are looking for? We do this on quite a few boards and it has eliminated component problems from the Cab depaneler (pizza cutter)

Boardhouse: Not to be confruntational, just trying to better understand what you're telling us. When you say, "Standard spacing most board houses would like to see is" blablabla. * What are the units of these dimensions? * You'd like to see these dim

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
