PCb stackup regions - round Split line for battery contact
« on: August 23, 2021, 02:50:05 am »
Hi All, I am trying to create a basic PCB that has a few different pcb stackup regions. Regardless of the "cost" of how specialised this pcb is, I am more or less hoping that I can create split lines on my board that are not straight lines from the outline layer.

As you can see from the images, I am trying to steer away from these straight line region changes. These parts, while they will be "flexible" are not intended to actually flex.

FYI, this is a 4 layer board and I am just using the 2nd signal layer with a ground plane since altium wouldn't let me put a prepreg layer below my bottom layer :(

This is quite a "bespoke" application and I don't have too much wriggle room. My alternative solution is just to go back to using a ground battery terminal. But due to my flex requirements, I am already using prepreg between these layers so I thought I might be able to use it as the battery ground terminal instead of soldering an actual part in production.

Better place to ask would be your PCB fab house of choice, for example Wurth have their rigid/flex combo quite sorted out

Unfortunately, fundamentally the software doesn't let me. So the best I could do is create a custom layer and try to convey that to the board house of what I am trying to do :(
