What is mouse bites PCB and how to depanel mouse bites PCB board

Mouse bites in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design refer to small perforations or holes that are used to connect a PCB panel to individual boards. Mouse bites are a series of small, closely spaced holes drilled along the edge of a PCB. These holes create a perforated line that allows for easy separation of individual boards from a panel. The name "mouse bites" comes from the appearance of the edge after separation, which resembles the jagged edge of a piece of cheese that has been nibbled by a mouse.

Purpose of Mouse Bites

• Panelization: Mouse bites are used in panelization, a process where multiple PCBs are fabricated on a single panel. This approach optimizes manufacturing efficiency by allowing multiple boards to be processed simultaneously.
• Ease of Separation: The perforated line created by mouse bites makes it easy to break the individual boards away from the panel without the need for additional cutting tools. This is especially useful in high-volume production environments.
• Cost-Effective: Using mouse bites is a cost-effective way to separate PCBs, as it reduces the need for additional machinery or labor-intensive processes.

How to depanel Mouse Bites PCB?

Depaneling PCBs with mouse bites involves separating individual circuit boards from a larger panel that has been perforated with small holes along the edges. This process requires careful handling to ensure that the boards are separated cleanly without causing damage to the components or the board itself.

RS-FB310 is a Robotic PCB depaneling router can work for irregular pcbs, including mouse bits pcbs. There is no better way to depanel a printed circuit board than with the PCB Router. This PCB depaneler router is the answer for hassle-free PCB depaneling through the employment of a router bit that minimizes stress on components.With a built-in fixture based dust vacuum system, the system is sure to be clean and efficient. This prevents warping, and takes full advantage of vacuum strength for the most effectual dust collection.
