Design Considerations for PCB Process Edges

When performing SMT (Surface Mount Technology) processing on PCBs, the PCBs are conveyed along the SMT production line via guide rails. Therefore, a pair of edges must be reserved as forbidden areas for component placement. Typically, the two long edges of the PCB or the assembled panel are designated as the conveyance edges. The width … Read more
