108 DESIGN007 MAGAZINE I MAY 2021 Expose thermal pad using laser or controlled depth routing . Note: Exposure of thermal pad is optional . If left coated it could provide additional routing space. 9: 10: 11: Coat assembly with electroless copper. Note: All surfaces are plated creating a metal encasement for the electronics. Tape off contacts and electroplate copper over assembly. Note: The tape prevents undesirable extra copper from being plated on contacts.
