Why does V-CUT will be added during PCB design?

  • Because the strength and hardness of PCB.
    After finishing the pc board assembly, in order to fit the PCB into the end product. The PCB manufacturer will design V-Cut to de-panel the PCB
  • Those dividing lines that were cut by cutter on the PCB is called V-CUT and it is commonly seen between break-away rail and unit on PCB.
  • It is literally impossible to de-panel PCB with your hands.
    Even if you do break the PCB manually, the electronics circuit board parts will be damaged.
  • When bending the PCB, the application of the force will cause PCB deformation which might result in the electronics circuit board parts cracked.
  • If thickness of PCB is too thin, we do not suggest to do V-CUT because it will damage PCB structural.
