Inge -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ioan Tempea Sent: den 26 juni 2008 22:00 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Singulation of Aluminum PCBs Dear Technos, We are quoting for several products using 0.063" thick Al PCBs, of course with a thin FR4 topping. Since they kinda need panelizing, what solutions can I use for depanelizing? Some are fit for V-grooving and some require routings. Pressing with dies would be a solution, but I'm not very sure the volumes will be there. Any other suggestions? Also, what are the good panel design practices for this type of application?
