PCB panel is a consideration for both PCB manufacturing and PCB assembly cause some boards are irregular. The panel can reduce the time and labor for production and testing.

PCB Technocrats, as the most professional manufacturer in this field for more than a decade. We can make the boards according to your panel design. Also, we can provide the service to help you panel the single board for free.

What is the panel?

That means we help you connect the single boards(same or different are both OK) on one big panel by different route process, then it will be easy for you to break them into single PCB. For the routing process, it has three types: V-scoring, Tab route, and stamp holes.

1. V-scoring

Panel with V-Cut/V-Scoring/V-Groove

For V-scoring panelization, space between boards can be 0mm or 3mm.

2. Tab route and stamp holes

For tab route and stamp holes, it can be used in the irregular boards. However, For the tab route, the space between boards should be 1.6mm.

3. Breakaway rails

Breakaway rail, also called edge rail, is a rail at the edge of panel boards to fix the panel boards on a machine more easily. So it is usually used in assembly PCB boards. For breakaway rails, you can also use a v-scoring or tab route to connect then you can cut the rails easily after assembly. In our plant, our mini edge rail is 5mm.
