Hi all, What are others doing with respect to bussing the last-mate first-break fingers on the PCI Express, or any similar design for that matter, such that the fingers can be electroplated. A conventional buss line from the center of the finger in this case would defeat the functionality of the shorter finger and there is no room to come off the side.
