PANELS
Simple
The same circuit board repeated in the panel.
Complex
Different circuit boards (repeated or not) in the panel.
Mechanical processing
Type | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|
SCORING | Distance between circuit boards = 0. Extra rigid. | Only for edges that are straight all the way across the panel. Recommended use of V-cut depaneling machine. |
MILLING | Can be used with any sort of circuit board. Precision cut. | Distance between circuit boards = ≥1.60 mm. Undesired burrs may be left after depaneling. |
COMBO | Available for very small circuit boards. Available for edges without burrs or marks. | Requires greater separation between circuit boards, scoring axis minimum 5 mm between circuit boards. |
Type of Frames
Depending on the mechanical process chosen, we recommend different types of frames.
For scoring we recommend no frame or on 2 sides and for milling we recommend 4 sides to make the panel more rigid.
