For photo imagable solder mask, I think, the minimum is 5 mills wide. 0.5 mm is 19 mills and so should be easy. For silk screened solder mask, I imagine, the bridge must be a lot wider. Any idea of which process your vender uses DJ? Steve Meier DJ Delorie wrote: > Cool. > > About solder masks:

Cool. About solder masks: I usually set those to the closest to the pad that the vendor allows, which usually means 1.5 mil or so away. Worst case, have the mask edge halfway between the pin and the plane. I never trust the library's mask or clearance, I always bulk-update them once they're on

I had my Altera FLEX (obsolete FPGA I got a handful of for free) board built by CustomPCB last week. This was a trial run of using PCB for professional manufacture, since I plan to do more complex 4 layer board soon. Overall I'm fairly pleased. Gary Cho at CustomPCB answered my questions promptl
