EpecDFx™ In Action.

Typical example of a subtle, yet critical engineering design problem discovered before fabrication; EpecDFx™ and Epec's engineering team detects and develops "must-fix" through "optimal" solutions.



EpecDFx™ issue shows:
  • Isolated connection caused by oversized plane clearance not caught by CAD system resulting in netlist violation.
  • Reduced thermal connection due to proximity to large split plane line.
 EpecDFx In Action Impact:
  • Electrical integrity of the design is invalid, resulting in scrapped board.
  • Compromised thermal connection results in poor solderability to connector pin.

  • Suggestion: Reduce plane clearances for holes to allow connection.
  • Result: Netlist integrity is restored.
  • Suggestion: Reduce plane clearances for holes to allow connection. Plus rotate thermal relief 45 degrees.
  • Result: Netlist integrity is restored, and thermal
    properties are maximized.
  • Suggestion: Reduce plane clearances for holes to allow connection. Plus rotate thermal relief 45 degrees and reduce plane clearance line.
  • Result: Netlist integrity is restored, and thermal properties are maximized.
