What is the 2 3 rule in design?

What is the difference between Class 2 and Class 3 annular ring

If a PCB is in Class 2, it is permitted to have breakouts from the annular rings. A 90° break is okay if you keep up insignificant dividing into the sidelong sides. In contrast, Class 3 PCBs do not permit cracked annular rings because they must be incredibly tough.

What is required for Class 3 annular ring

The conductor junction should never be less than 2 mil or the minimum line width, whichever is smaller. For Class 3, the minimum internal annular ring cannot be less than 1 mil. The external annular ring cannot be less than 2 mil.

What is the minimum annular ring for Class 2

0.004″ per

For IPC Class 2 there must be 0.004" per side annular ring (or drill + 0.008"). This mandates a minimum pad size of 0.018". Note that for Class 3 requirements a minimum annular ring of 0.005" per side (or drill + 0.010") is required–a 0.020" minimum pad diameter.

What is the minimum for annular ring

Typically, the minimum width of the annular ring is 0.15mm (6mil), and the drill size (CNC) ranges from 0.2mm to 6.3mm. If it goes beyond this range, additional charges may apply.

What is the recommended annular ring

Recommended PCB Annular Ring Size

Typically, your annular ring needs to be as large as your heaviest parts or those that you will expose to heavy force. For instance, your switch. Generally, the sweet spot for an annular ring's diameter is 0.25mm.

What is the minimum annular ring for Class 3

The conductor junction should never be less than 2 mil or the minimum line width, whichever is smaller. For Class 3, the minimum internal annular ring cannot be less than 1 mil. The external annular ring cannot be less than 2 mil.

What is the minimum annular width

0.15mm

Typically, the minimum width of the annular ring is 0.15mm (6mil), and the drill size (CNC) ranges from 0.2mm to 6.3mm. If it goes beyond this range, additional charges may apply.

What is minimum annular ring

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) minimum annular ring refers to the minimum amount of copper between the edge of the land and the edge of the hole, after the finished hole is plated. It is also referred to as a supported hole. Sometimes, the traces on a circuit board are required to be connected to another layer.

What is the minimum annular ring on a PCB

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) minimum annular ring refers to the minimum amount of copper between the edge of the land and the edge of the hole, after the finished hole is plated. It is also referred to as a supported hole. Sometimes, the traces on a circuit board are required to be connected to another layer.

What is annular width

Annular ring width = (Diameter of the pad – Diameter of the finished hole) / 2.

How big should the annular ring be

When drilling vias, a drill wander of 2 mils is expected. Therefore, the annular ring should not be lesser than 2 mils for microvias/laser drills and 4 mils for mechanically drilled vias. Note that annular ring measured in the CAM software considers the drilled hole size and not the finished hole size.

What is the minimum width of annular ring

The design standard across the industry sets a different limit for inner and outer annular rings. For annular rings on the inner layer of a PCB, the minimum width is 0.1mm. For annular rings on the outer layer of a PCB, the minimum width is 0.05mm.
