It depends. Do you plan on processing them panelized and then depanelizing them at your facility? If so I would work WITH the PCB supplier. Make sure you within their published panel sizes and you should be OK. But your input is paramount, as you will be the one stuck with depanelizing them. Also, you need to be concerned about edge clearances at areas of mouse bite or scoring. But, if you intend to buy them already depanelized, just let the PCB shop work their layout on the panel to maximize their yield. -----Original Message----- From: Marsico, James [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, February 19, 2007 2:08 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] PWB panels Hello TechNet... A quick question. When designing small PWBs, do you design the paneled array or do you supply a one-up design and ask your PWB supplier to design the panel for you?
