ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to a plating buss design and method for minimizing short circuit problems in PCB panel singulation. More particularly, the invention encompasses a serpentine plating buss which increases the PCB singulation process window thereby minimizing short circuit problems due to indexing errors caused by occasional manufacturing and equipment alignment problems. The serpentine plating buss design therefore increases board yield.
