5 Key PCB Layout Considerations for Efficient Circuit Board Assembly and Soldering Production Processes

post on October 26, 2023

When designing a PCB layout, various questions inevitably arise. Is this PCB best suited for a single-layer, double-layer, or multi-layer configuration? How should you protect against ESD/EMI? Will the printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) use a single-sided or double-sided process? … Continue reading →

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

post on 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

post on 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?

post on 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 →
