Pad with complex hole

eugeny
eugeny over 10 years ago

Hello, connector has its through-hole chassis pin 2.4 x 1 mm size, what is the right way to create pad for it?

SMD pad with holes give errors, hole without pad leaves space with no copper around the hole (0.2 mm clearance is required by PCB manufacturer).

Please advise.

    Sadly, the picture link is not working (website is temp broken), maybe it will come back in a few hours. Since I can't see anything, I'm assuming you plan to "drill" the non-circular hole using laser cutting…

    By the way it sounds like you are trying to create this internal "hole" using the dimension layer. I don't know if that it really correct, since this should be used to form the "outer" border/perimeter…

    Your description is not clear to offer full help..

    You say the shape of the pin is 2.4 x 1 mm?   So any round hole must be

    2.4mm for the pin to fit.  This post did not mention center-to-center

    spacing of the pins, this is critical.

    Since this is not a surface mount part, you will not use surface mount

    packages

    Thanks. Let me rephrase the question.

    I need hole in the PCB of 2.4 x 1 mm size with plating around it (but better with plating in it like in pad).

     

    As you see this is not a round hole.

    It has nothing to do with spacing, pitch or whatever.

    I just need one hole of defined size and defined properties at the center of the 10 x 10 mm PCB.

    Do not ask me why image
