Title: board edge
Post by: joniengr081 on September 27, 2024, 08:00:53 am

Hello,

Does anyone know how we can make such board edge ? I am using Xpedition VX 2.12. Kindly let me know how to add the board edge that go though the plated mounting holes as well. Thanks in advance.

There is nothing too special about this edge, you just need to place a ground plane, then draw lines or polygons on your soldermask layer to uncover the gold plated PCB beneath.

Some boards will have edge gold plating as well, but I don't think this has it. You have to tell the PCB manufacturer if you want that done.

I'll ask to move this to the regular PCB forum as its not Altium.

Xpedition  is from Siemens if I recall correctly.
