5.4 Sub-Panel Design | Combination Scored-Milled Sub-Panel

This type of sub-panel is a cost-effective option in situations where some PCB outlines have irregular shapes (e.g., recesses, radii) (separation by milling), while others are straight (separation by scoring). However, straight sides should be milled if a smooth outline edge and tight tolerances (e.g., for installation purposes) are required.
