PANELISATION GUIDELINES

Use the following guidelines to calculate the most efficient board size that enables maximum utilisation of the panel area.

  • 25mm border on top & bottom for plating connection and added stiffness at routing (can be decreased to 20mm if required).
  • 20mm border to the sides for added stiffness at routing.
  • 10mm in between boards (can be decreased to 8mm if required) except for:
  • panel routing where 2.4mm (the diameter of the router) is required.
  • scoring (V-grooving) where the boards are actually butted up with no spacing (remember track to edge clearance requirement 0.65mm for 60 o on 1.6mm thick material! Refer to CID-016 for further details).

Through-hole-plated microwave materials (teflon & duroid)
Panel size 457mm x 305mm
