Hi Rod!

I understand what you mean. I believe you are trying to say that you want castellated terminations for the little module that you are installing on a larger board.

I'm not a fab guy, but I suppose that would be one way to create them on a little module. You would probably need to make sure that there are other holes within the module, so that there is something to fixture them in place during routing...otherwise they might go flying all over the place when trying to route them out.
