Pad with complex hole

eugeny

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.

  • 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 of the pcb.  I

    suspect any copper crossing over the dimension border will always generate

    an error.

     

    Perhaps you should generate your "hole" using the layer 47 "milling".  I'm

    just tossing out thoughts, since I haven't used layer 47 myself.

     

    In fact I just now searched the word "milling" & found this post, you may
