Designing and Producing Your First PCB Prototypes A prototype PCB is an important aspect to the success of your final product because it allows you to perform tests for design and functionality, before taking a product to full production, so it makes sense that your first pcb prototyp

Tip #1) Antipad and thermal clearances Antipads should be 0.010 to 0.020″ larger than outer layer pads. For thermal pads, the moat should be a minimum of 0.012 ( favored 0.015) and pads should be equal to or larger than outer layer pads. Clearances for solder masks around non pl
