Considerations for Gold Finger Bevel Design
2 min
- Technical Guidance
In our daily lives, we often come across products with a row of contacts on the PCB edge used for connections, which are known as PCB gold fingers. They are also referred to as "edge connectors", typically serving as the external connection interface for a PCB board when inserted into a slot.
Technical Guidance
So, what should you keep in mind when designing PCBs with gold fingers?
Excessive beveling of PCB gold fingers can result in the fingers not making proper contact with the mating equipment during assembly, leading to poor connectivity and potential usage issues.
Therefore, during the design phase, it's crucial to ensure that the length, width, position, bevel angle, and depth requirements of the gold fingers match the length of the fingers themselves. Be careful not to make the fingers too short or the bevel too thin, rendering them unusable. Additionally, make sure there is a sufficient safety margin between the gold fingers' edge and the board edge. In cases where this margin is insufficient, our engineering team will optimize the design.
Design Optimation
Here are the details:
The length and width dimensions after beveling a single board or a panel should not be less than 50mm.

PCB Gold Fingers: Why They Matter and How to Design Them
Key Takeaways PCB gold fingers provide reliable electrical and mechanical contact for PCBs that connect to external connectors or card slots. ENIG is suitable for general contact applications, while electroplated hard gold offers higher wear resistance for repeated insertion and removal. Gold fingers should remain fully exposed, with solder mask and silkscreen kept away from the contact area. Proper chamfering and gold finger orientation are essential to ensure smooth insertion and prevent damage duri......
Comparing HASL and ENIG Surface Finishes for PCBs
Selecting the right surface finish for a printed circuit board (PCB) is crucial to ensuring its performance, reliability, and longevity. Two of the most commonly used finishes are Hot Air Solder Leveling (HASL) and Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG). Each of these surface finishes offers distinct advantages and disadvantages, making them suitable for different applications. In this article, we will compare HASL and ENIG to help you determine which finish is best suited for your PCB project. What......
Avoid PCB Assembly Failures: Mastering Solder Mask Expansion Rules and Best Practices
Solder mask protects copper traces and pads from oxidation, bridges, and contamination during assembly. Incorrect solder mask expansion—the clearance around features where mask is pulled back—leads to defects like shorts or exposed copper. Engineers must set expansion values precisely to ensure reliable soldering and long-term performance. Introduction: Why Solder Mask Expansion is Critical for PCB Reliability Understanding Solder Mask and Expansion Basics Solder mask is a polymer layer applied over t......
Conformal Coating in PCB Technology: Benefits, Challenges, and Future Developments
If you're searching for conformal coating, you're likely looking for a reliable way to protect your PCB from moisture, dust, chemicals, or harsh environments. Choosing the right coating directly affects product reliability, performance, and lifespan. In this guide, you'll learn what conformal coating is, the main types available, and how to select the best option for your application.

The Ultimate Guide to OSP Surface Finish in PCB Manufacturing: Advantages, Process, and Selection
Key Takeaways OSP (Organic Solderability Preservative) is a water-based, cost-effective PCB surface finish that deposits a 0.2-0.5μm organic film directly onto copper pads. Unlike metallic finishes such as ENIG or HASL, OSP provides superior surface flatness for fine-pitch SMT components at no extra process charge, making it ideal for high-density consumer electronics. However, OSP requires controlled handling and a limited assembly window (24-48 hours after opening vacuum packaging). It is best suite......
PCB Encapsulation: Design Rules, Material Selection, and Reliable Manufacturing
Key Takeaways Encapsulation vs. Potting: Potting uses a permanent shell; encapsulation produces a free-standing resin-coated module. Both deliver full environmental isolation. Encapsulation vs. Conformal Coating: Conformal coating is lightweight and reworkable but limited to mild environments. Encapsulation provides IP67/IP68 submersion-grade protection at the cost of repairability. Resin Selection: Epoxy offers rigidity and chemical resistance; polyurethane provides flexibility for thermal cycling; s......
