LCSC Front Panel Design Specifications
LCSC front panel design cases for your reference
Specific Design Specifications:
1. Color Requirements
● Please specify the front panel background, text, and pattern color.
● For color accuracy, provide CMYK. RGB & PANTONE are accepted but expect color difference.
● Note: LCSC's darkest base color is CMYK 40,40,40,100.
2. Format Specifications
● Priority file formats: AI, CDR, SVG, EPS, DXF, DWG. Note: Don't forget to convert the text to curve, or the text will shift or the font will be replaced.
● Secondary: PDF, CAD. Note: The ratio must be set to 1:1.
If multiples, please combine in ZIP and RAR.
3. Dimension Specifications
● LCSC customizes sizes up to 380mmx594mm or 394mmx580mm.
● Ensure a 1:1 drawing scale for precision.
4. Pattern Requirements
● For vector formats (AI, CDR, EPS, DXF, DWG), please convert fonts to curves/outlines.
● For bitmap formats (PSD, JPG, BMP) with a resolution of 300DPI, please keep the cutting edges clear and no size markings in your drawing, just email us the size.
● For safe cutting, the outside stroke line width must be ≥2mm or positioned >0.7mm from panel edges.
● Note: For bottom printing, ensure a text line width exceeding 0.25mm; for front printing, maintain a minimum line width above 0.15mm.
5. Transparent and Cutting-out Designs
● Please specify translucent area color, e.g., red translucent.
● Please mark cutouts and transparent parts in the drawing with uniform color.
● Please ensure a minimum distance of over 1.5 mm between cutouts to prevent inter-hole penetration.
● Please maintain a minimum 1.5 mm clearance between the cutouts and panel edges to prevent melting, deformation, and usage damage due to thin panel sides.
● Note: The cutting accuracy is ±0.3mm. Normally, the tolerance is -0.2mm. Usually, the overall size of the outer shape will be about 0.2mm smaller, and the cut-out size will be about 0.2mm larger.
6. Design Specifications for Multiple Designs
● Templates support sizes: 179mmx293mm, 279mmx393mm, 393mmx579mm.
● Please maintain >2mm gap between designs.
7. Bulged Button Design Specification
● Considering the rebound performance, mechanical life, touch effect, etc., now only PET material supports making bulged buttons, and thicknesses of 0.125mm & 0.2mm are recommended.
● Key diameter >12mm: 0.2mm PET
Key diameter＜12mm: 0.125mm PET
● Optimal key size is 10mm~14mm for comfortable pressing. The range we support is within 6-40mm.
● Min. button-edge distance: 3mm
Min. inter-button distance: 2mm
8. Adhesive Design Specification
The minimum width of the adhesive should be more than 3.5mm to ensure that the edges are covered.
