Sma female connector part

Preventing top-of-board soldering

Bah, fritzing didn't send me reply notifications.

I want to make a double sided board. But I can't solder through-hole components on the side of the board where the component is, because the component's in the way. The solder pad is inaccessible. I can only solder them on the other side of the board where the pin is sticking out. This means that I can't connect component-side tracks to the component leg.

I asked about squashed-bug ICs because that would let me surface-mount my DIP chips; because they're surface mounted they can't be vias, so don't cause the problem. However there don't seem to be any suitable footprints, so.

It's not quite as simple as editing a component to remove the component-side connection, either, because I need to make sure that fritzing knows not to put tracks where the pin is...

Search for sma_edge in the parts bin. There is a part in sparkfun connectors, but it doesn't come up unless you search for it for some reason. Found via google search on "fritzing part sma female". It however is smd not through hole. If you need a pcb version of this we would need to change the pcb view of this part (which isn't overly difficult for me as the listing has pin specifications).

edit: On the assumption you wanted the pcb foot print here is such a part. Note you need to check that the footprint and holes match your part by printing it out and trying it on a real part as I don't have any to try. The holes in this are .042 in (slightly larger than the 1mm specified in the listing).

He likely did a reply (as I usually do) on the bottom of the screen rather than a reply to your specific post (as I remembered to do this time :slight_smile: ). The general reply doesn't send you a notification, only a reply to your post or a mention of your id does.

Are you aware that commercial double sided boards have plated through holes? That means if you solder the bottom of the pad, the solder will flow up the plating and solder the top as well so it shouldn't matter that you can't solder the top side (as long as the component won't short the pads with something conductive). The plating in the hole connects the top to the bottom electrically as well so even it the solder doesn't flow there will still be an electrical connection. If you do need an odd smd footprint if you can provide a reference it is easy enough (at least for me, with experience making parts) to create one. We only need a specification to follow.

Load Cell Sensor Part

Making a PCB for the first time

I have laid out my circuit as if I were looking down at it in the PCB view and have made all of my necessary connections. Naturally I want all of the PCB traces on the bottom of the board so I can solder my parts in place. My question is when I send my files to a board maker, how do they know which side of the board I want them to make the traces? I need a mirror image on the bottom of what I've made in the PCB view.

Thanks
Eric

Select the corner of the PCB, and in Inspector change it to Single Side. You can also select traces and change them to bottom - orange traces are bottom, yellow is top -.

You can check the gerbers with free Gerbv. Make sure it's 100% correct before you send it to manufacture because you are doing engineering.

Yeah, but that requires me to use professional board manufacturers, which I don't want to do --- its not just the price, and they're not cheap, it's the multi-week turnaround. I can make a board myself in an hour (but I can't plate them).

Cool thanks for the reply

Those views have been made by Trace Bitmap on images, and aren't full svg, so you can't assign pins in those views. BB and SCH would have to be remade.

How about the LOAD_CELL in the bins.

Then yes, you are correct plating through isn't available at home. Then the other offer stands, if you supply a smd foot print you need I can either point you at one or make one (they are fairly easy given a spec and experience making parts).

If the load cell in core parts doesn't suit a data sheet on the part you do want would help as well.

This should do the job. Note the mounting holes are probably not quite correct as their size isn't specified in the drawing. They are also only on the silk screen, if you want the real hole in pcb you would need to drag a hole over top of the hole in silkscreen and set the correct size.

I selected PCB1 v.5 to make Arduino Shield. How can I resize my PCB to shorter than the one provided by program.
Or how can I draw my custom design shape?

Inspector (lower right corner of the screen) will change the pcb1 size. You would probably be better to type shield in to parts search icon (the magnifying glass) on the parts bin though as there are several arduino shields available there already. To draw a custom shape you would use an svg editor such as Inkscape and make a new part (which is fairly complex). There are tutorials in here on parts making.

Cmos components?

Hi. are there any libraries, or has anyone created CMOS series components? I may have to create them myself, but I have not yet learned to do well. To make schematics it is uncomfortable to use generic ic. Maybe someone has created some cmos, 40106, 4017, 4053, among others. Regards!

How to change all Part Connections to Bottom layer?

To delete a post go to the individual post and click the 3 dots "..." at the bottom left, and then click the trash can.

Whatever is selected in the drawing is controlled by the Inspector, so click the track so it's boxed with a dotted line. Then go to width in Insp and either select a track width from the drop down box, or type in a number for the width that is under 128mil 0.128".

The quickest way to learn stuff on the net is to binge watch instructional videos.

Darker lines are selected in the printer options.
