What’s the rules for PCB panelization?

1.Identical design panelization

If you choose “panelization 1”, make sure that there’s only one design in your Gerber file.

Tips: put the v-cut line in outline layer(GKO/GML)

     Make a note beside the v-cut line as the following picture shows.

If you want to use v-cut, please following those rules:

1) The entire board size should be ≥ 175px*175px, ≤ 950px*950px.

2) The sub-board size should be ≥ 50px*50px.

Please note if the sub-board size is ≤ 50px*50px, we will inform you to pay USD16 for the processing fee.

3) V-cut line only be a straight line.

4) V-cut line only be cut from edge to the edge.

5) V-cut line must be zero pitch between sub-boards.  

6）The minimum length between circuit wire and the v-cut line as ≥ 0.4mm.  

7) The thickness of the board must be ≥1.0mm.

2. Different PCB panelization.

Tips: Put all designs in one Gerber file.

     Make sure the cut lines (sots) are in outline layer(GKO/GML), and the complete board outline should go all round the edge of the boards.

Note：if there are 2 designs are in common, we still consider the two designs as 2 designs, such as the following picture:

There are 3 designs in the PCB.
