Methods for Adding Process Edges and MARK Points in PCB Design
Abstract In printed circuit board (PCB) design, process edges (also called breakaway tabs or rails) and fiducial markers (MARK points) are essential for manufacturing and assembly. Process edges provide mechanical support during fabrication, while MARK points ensure accurate component placement during surface mount technology (SMT) assembly. This article discusses the purpose, design guidelines, and implementation…
