I have just I have just received a order of some PCB and discovered a connection fault that does not make sense.
The schematic (attached PCB Query 1) clearly shows a good connection between the Earth track and the Ground connection and also the emitter of the power transistor but the PCB layout shows gaps (see PCB Query 1 & 2) that have of course reproduced on the actual PCB I have received (PCB Query 4).
How is this possible? Every other connection appears good just as on the schematic. My PCB is now pretty much useless!
I am in the process of preparing a much more complex circuit and if I don't have trust that all the connections will be good then how can I possibly use this particular system?
Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jules
