Silkscreen clearance clarification please

[jdupre]

On your "Decal Checklist", is the .3mm silkscreen clearance supposed to be from the *center* of the silkscreen line to the pad (yeilding .2mm actual clearance with a .2mm thick silkscreen line), or are you supposed to maintain an actual clearance of .3mm from the silkscreen shape to the pad?

Thanks,

- Joe

Joe,

The 0.3mm Silkscreen Clearance is from edge of copper to edge of silkscreen. Because the silkscreen line width is 0.2mm, the centerline of the silkscreen line will be 0.4mm away from the edge of the copper, leaving a 0.3mm gap between the copper and the silkscreen.
