Hole Positioned on Copper Trace – Risk of Open Circuit

Reason for Failed Review:

Your design shows a drill hole located directly on a copper trace. This will cause the via or hole to cut through the trace, potentially resulting in an open circuit or electrical disconnection during production.

PCBfast Suggestions:

1. Please revise your Gerber file to move the hole away from the trace or redraw the trace to ensure electrical continuity.

2. If this placement is intentional, please add a note when placing your order stating:

“There is a hole in the trace. Please fabricate as designed.”

Providing this clarification will help PCBfast’s engineering team confirm your intent and proceed accurately with production.
