JTAG-SMT2 usb tabs

[tbonnefond]

Hello,

I was wondering if someone can tell me if the usb mtg tabs protrude out the bottom side of the module?  The recommended footprint has 2 electrical keep-outs for these tabs, but no slots.  The 3D step pic shows the tabs sticking out approx. 14 mils on the bottom side which would keep the module from sitting flush on the pcb. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @tbonnefond,

I had talked about this with our senior layout and design engineers previously about a similar thread here and their response was that the electrical keep out areas are flush with the PCB and will not cause issues with it seating on the target PCB. You should not need usb slots.

cheers,
