Do PCB Designs Require Reserving Board Edges and Grooves for Routers De-Paneling Machines?

發表於 October 11, 2023

A while back, a netizen asked how the Router de-panel machine cuts PCB panels and whether there’s a need to reserve board edges (break-away) for the Router machine in PCB design. Upon careful consideration, I thought my previous answer might … Continue reading →

PCB De-Paneling: V-cut scoring de-paneling and removing board edges

發表於 September 21, 2023

The term “V-cut” refers to a pre-cut separation groove made by printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers at specific locations on the PCB. This groove is designed to facilitate the “de-paneling” process after the completion of surface mount technology (SMT)  and … Continue reading →

What is V-cut? Why PCB need to design V-cut on it?

發表於 September 14, 2023

The term “V-cut” in the context of printed circuit boards (PCBs) refers to predefined cutting lines made by PCB manufacturers based on customer drawings. These lines are typically arranged in a V-shaped pattern, resembling the letter “V,” which is why … Continue reading →

Why is Panelization and Break-away Tab Necessary in PCB Manufacturing, then De-paneling after PCBA is Completed?

發表於 August 31, 2023

Why is “Panelization” performed during PCB manufacturing? And after surface mounting (SMT) assembly and wave soldering, why is it necessary to go through the additional process of “de-paneling” to separate the individual boards? What is the purpose of the PCB’s … Continue reading →
