The Limitations of Using “Mirrored Panels” or “Flipped Panels” in SMT
We all know that when producing PCBs and PCBAs, multiple individual PCBs are usually combined into one larger panel, a process called panelization, to improve production efficiency. Typically, these individual boards are arranged in a neat and consistent manner with … Continue reading
