Panel Creation
For cost-saving or technical reasons (such as improved assembly), multiple circuit boards may be combined to form one large board, a “panel”. This panel is then produced just as a single large circuit board. A separation of the panel does not occur!
Always consult with your assembly partner about the panel design; take note of (for example) fiducial marks and capture holes!
A damaged circuit board (according to E-test) will not be removed from the panel, but rather marked. This must be observed during assembly.
Panel types:
- simple panels: The same circuit board repeated in the panel
- complex panels: Different circuit boards composed into the panel
Mechanical processing
- Scoring
- Milling with bridges to break out (IMPORTANT: 2.4mm or 10mm spacing, see below!)
- Milling / scoring combination
Prices for panel creation
- Panel data provided by the customer: no extra charge
- Panel composed by Multi CB: surcharge starting from € 100.00 (plus VAT)
Additional rules for prototypesFor Prototype circuit board service, the following additional rules apply:
|
Simple panelsFor simple panels, multiple identical circuit board layouts are composed to form one panel. The completed panel is scored, or partially milled-out to provided the contained PCBs with bridges for breaking out. Simple panels scoredWhen designing the panel, please observe that a spacing of 0.0mm is left between the circuit boards. The contour line thickness should be 0.01mm / 1 mil. Because of the tolerances when breaking out the single circuit boards, all conductor traces and copper areas should have a spacing of at least 500µm from the scoring edge (see scoring). We recommend using scoring technology only for panels with a circuit board thickness of at least 1mm (stability).  Simple panels milledWhen designing the panel, please observe that a spacing of 2.4mm is left between the circuit boards. All conductor traces and copper areas should have a spacing of at least 200µm from the milling edge. If no bridges are defined by the customer, these will be inserted by Multi PCB! Optimum width for the bridges: 1 to 1.5mm. |
Complex panelsFor complex panels, multiple different circuit board layouts can be composed onto one panel. The completed panel is scored, or partially milled out, to provided the contained PCBs with bridges for breaking out. Complex panels scoredWhen designing the panel, please observe that a spacing of 0.0mm is left between the circuit boards. The contour line thickness should be 0.01mm / 1 mil. Because of the tolerances when breaking out the individual circuit boards, all conductor traces and copper areas should have a spacing of at least 500µm from the scoring edge (see scoring). We recommend using scoring technology only for panels with a circuit board thickness of at least 1mm (stability). Complex panels milledWhen designing the panel, please observe that a spacing of 10mm is left between the circuit boards. All conductor traces and copper areas should have a spacing of at least 200µm from the milling edge. If no bridges are defined by the customer, these will be inserted by Multi PCB Optimum width for the bridges: 1 to 1.5mm. |
