Hi there folks, After just perusing through the IPC-SM-782A std/book I have noticed the mouse bite breakaway pattern IPC-782-3-31. Has anyone any experiences of this that they might share? (good or bad). It does look as though it would provide greater stability/strength to a panel yet have less actual material to break off than a single 1.5mm tab (which is what I normally use).
