Abstract
Printed circuit board (PCB) is board that used to connect the electricity using the conductive pathways. The PCB that consists with electronic components was called as printed circuit board assembly (PCBA). Bending process has been used as one of the depaneling techniques may contribute to mechanical stress and the failure of capacitors and other components to function. As a result, the idea to create holes in particular location was implemented in order to absorb the stress. In this study, finite element analysis is demonstrated by using ANSYS software. Two PCBA design models are considered in order to investigate the effect of the hole and the stress response. The simulation results show that the hole on the PCBA has reduced the stress. For Design model 2, the stress response of the holes located vertically to the PCBA is lower than the holes located horizontally to the PCBA.
