What, from an assembly point of view, would you tell a board designer are good design practices to make an assembly coatable from an automated standpoint. I think we would all agree that having an assembly with no keep out zones and a constant height for components to be the ideal. The more holes we poke in the film and the farther we get from the ideal, the less we can automate coating. So, what would you tell a designer to do? Or, to put the shoe on the other hand, what kinds of things should they NOT do, or bad practices to avoid? And, yes, I know It Depends.
