Tolerance Stack-up - Analysis By James D. Meadows [repack]

(Note: A conventional ± stack-up would incorrectly compute min clearance as 10.4 – 10.1 = 0.3 mm, missing the perpendicularity effect.)

Uses the Root Sum Square (RSS) formula to provide a more realistic estimate for high-volume production, assuming variations follow a normal distribution. tolerance stack-up analysis by james d. meadows
