Robert,
To quote "Mountain Dew" Doug; it depends.For our Aerospace applications,we
require a minimum of 0.025 inches from edge of PWB to any internal
conductive entity.Given a 0.015 inch profile tolerance,based on a basic
outline dimension(max),the minimum design distance would be 0.040 inches.
For external requirements it would be 0.075 inches.This allows for
processing(fixturization,depanelization,testing) with a 0.060 inch minimum
and the 0.015 profile tolerance.
