What DFM is standard for Minimum Edge Clearance on a PCB for Fiducials and components?

Any advice appreciated.

IPC or DFM? Most DFMs are controlled by the equipment restrictions which will define this parameter.

Most, if not all, DFX guidelines are Equipment dependant. You can provide standard requirements in your DFX guidlines (edge clearance, component keep-out, height restrictions, etc...) along with an exceptions report for increased cost.

just a thought...

Chunks,

Have you been off on a Yogic enlightenment course, or does the filter need changing on the purex unit nearest your desk?

Sounds like you're mad because they installed a "Yogic Only" express lane at your Wal Mart. I hate that too. I did replaced the filter in my Purex unit with a little somthing else, but if you worked here, you'd do it too.

We get away with edge clearance of 5 mm on the bottom side and 3 mm on the top side. This is mainly because of our BTU-reflow ovens. The rest of our assy-line can handle 3 mm edge clearence.

Assuming that a double sided pcba is running secondary side first.

However, our recommendation to the "layouters" is 5 mm edge clearence in general. But if the "layouters" need to pack the board extensively, 3 mm is ok for the last run on a double sided (or a single sided board). And this happens once in a while. /Regards
