1. Definition & Application of HDI Mouse Bite PCB

HDI Mouse Bite PCB, also known as half-metallized hole PCB or stamped hole PCB, refers to a special structure in which the board-edge plated through-hole is half-retained by secondary drilling and contouring processes. This structure allows direct soldering between the half-hole and the mating terminal, eliminating connectors and saving assembly space, making it widely used in signal transmission sub-boards and compact interconnection modules.

2. Standard Manufacturing Process Flow

The manufacturing process of HDI Mouse Bite PCB follows a strict sequence to ensure hole quality and structural stability:

Outer layer circuit design & engineering DFM review
Substrate pattern electroplating (copper deposition)
Pattern tin electroplating
Half-hole precision forming treatment
Dry film stripping
Selective etching

3. Key Process Control & Quality Challenges

The core difficulty of half-metallized hole processing lies in controlling hole-wall quality after forming, especially avoiding copper burrs, lifting, residues and delamination on the hole edge.

Boards with dense rows of small-diameter half-holes are mostly used as daughter cards welded to motherboards or component pins. Residual copper spikes can cause poor soldering, cold joints, or even bridging short circuits between adjacent pins. Therefore, refined process control is required throughout machining.

During CNC routing, the spindle rotates clockwise. At point A of the hole edge, the metallized layer is tightly bonded to the substrate, avoiding lifting and residue. At point B, the copper layer lacks sufficient support and tends to curl under tool force, which is the key area requiring targeted process optimization.

4. Design Specifications for HDI Mouse Bite

Size range: Hole diameter ≥ 0.6 mm; edge-to-edge spacing between adjacent half-holes ≥ 0.6 mm
Pad design: Half-hole pads must be symmetrically distributed across the board outline; the inner pad area beyond the board frame shall be larger than the routed hollow area
Minimum margin: Distance from half-hole pad to board corner ≥ 2.0 mm for clamping and structural strength
Forming method: V-CUT is strictly prohibited on half-hole edges; only CNC routing is allowed to avoid copper tearing or hole wall voids

5. Panelization & Assembly Rules

Standard stamp-hole panelization is adopted with connecting ribs between sub-panels; typical stamp hole diameter: 0.65–0.85 mm
Panel size shall be reasonably controlled to match SMT assembly lines
Mouse Bite PCBs do not support mixed panelization with other board types
Boards smaller than 10 × 10 mm do not support panelized delivery and must be shipped as single units
If panelization is necessary, a reserved margin of 1.6–2.0 mm shall be added around the board
Expedited orders for half-hole boards are generally not accepted due to complex process control

6. Cost Factors of HDI Mouse Bite PCB

Mouse Bite belongs to a special process requiring secondary routing and precise half-hole control. Most such boards are small in size with high-density structures, leading to relatively higher manufacturing costs. Non-standard design configurations will further affect process cost and delivery cycle.
