Abstract:
Board delamination during the singulation from a board panel and board sagging during front-end assembly are two biggest problems encountered in cellular manufacturing lines. The method (700) and circuit board panel (600) of the present invention substantially eliminate assembly-line delamination and sagging for circuit board manufacturing. A number of slots are punched to fit into a circuit board profile. V-grooves are cut along each of the circuit board profiles through the slots and directly opposite on a top and bottom of the circuit board. Thus, optimization of the cut-outs and v-groove configurations tearing, delamination are eliminated, and sagging is substantially reduced.

The method and circuit board panel (600) of the present invention substantially eliminate assembly-line delamination and sagging for circuit board manufacturing. A number of slots are punched to fit into a circuit board profile. V-grooves (606, 608) are cut along each of the circuit board profiles through the slots and directly opposite on a top and bottom of the circuit board. Thus, optimization of the cut-outs (604) and v-groove (606, 608) configurations tearing, delamination are eliminated, and sagging is substantially reduced.
