Custom PAD design/PAD designer

VRN69

Hi

I want to create a individual PAD/pads for a bluetooth module(size 10x10), these pads are placed at the edge of the PCB such that it will be used to solder onto the PCB(Base Board)

How to create such pads(custom)?. Is there any standards to be followed? Kindly help and advice.

Ex: silicon labs BLE112 ( Pads as seen on the edge of the module PCB).

Many Thanks

    It looks like these are edge plated holes. You could simply use a PTH (circular pad) and place them so that the centre of the pad is either on the edge of the board or just inside it. Then add a note to the fabricator to say you want edge plating.

    Hi Steve

    Many Thanks.

    The same solution was going through my mind, but i felt it may not be the legitimate way to do so...

    But after your post i think this is how its done.

    Also can you suggest any guide for layers stack up and Antenna design(PCB) for RF designs??
