pcb support span

[sfrancz]

Please provide any comments on determining the appropriate support or fastening distances required for a pcb to meet a certain weight of pcb, thickness, orientation, and vibration level that the pcb will be exposed.

The answer depends on the maximum predicited shock and vibration environments, among other factors.

A good reference is:
