Test Point

Danilo Pichilli
Danilo Pichilli over 4 years ago

Hi, I would like to insert test points on the bottom side of my pcb. But when I go to generate the gerber of the soldermask bottom I have to add the layer: "Via Class / soldermask bottom" to make sure that it does not have the soldermask on my final pcb in the test points. Unfortunately this causes me the absence of the soldermask also on the vias .. is there an alternative way to solve this problem? (I specify that the test point must be smd)

thanks

    I assumed that, but clarity is needed, others that read these forums may not understand what you are requesting.   If you google test points, a wiki page shows up:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_point

    So I added this comment for the community to understand.
