Hi,
I'd like to create pads to anchor an XT60 connector onto a PCB, and I was hoping someone could give me some pointers.
Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

Notice that there are a couple large pads on the right side of that board where the XT60 connector can be soldered to. The pads have holes (plated I'm assuming) in order to create extra strength where the connector is attached, and keep the pads from ripping off the board if the connector is bumped.
What would be the best way to create a pad like this? Would it be a copper area on the top and bottom layers, and a bunch of vias to connect the two together? Or, would it be better to use holes instead?
Thanks in advance for the help!
