Hi      Angie can you request more clearance in the breakaway tabs
locations. Or can you reverse the process. Removed the breakaway first
and then add you masking.

boards

        Tech world,
        Got a problem with removing breakaway tabs. When we remove them,
the
        masking is peeling off with the breakaway and some times it runs
into
        the traces. I started to blame the assemblers, I thought they
were being
        to ruff but when it came time for me to remove the tabs the same
thing
        happen to me. Has anyone ran into this problem and if so what is
the
        root cause. Any help would be appreciated.

        Thanks
