Mouse Bites PCB: Hole Size, Spacing & DFM Rules

Mouse bites PCB edge with perforated breakaway holes in PCB layout design

PCB mouse bites are perforated breakaway tabs that hold boards in a routed panel and allow controlled separation after assembly. Their performance depends on hole geometry, tab placement, board thickness, clearance, and depaneling method.They are especially useful for irregular board outlines or locations that need selective panel support.
