</script>https://www.sprintpcbgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/pcb-fiducial-manufacturing-equipment-1.webp600400As an engineer who has personally experienced PCB fiducial design errors, I deeply understand the impact these seemingly simple markers have on SMT placement accuracy. Based on actual project experience, this article shares how to properly plan the position, shape, and layout specifications of PCB fiducials to avoid whole-board placement deviations caused by improper fiducial design. From alignment details for double-sided boards to considerations regarding keep-out zones, the goal is to help engineers prioritize this critical aspect right from the initial design stages.
