Ik vergat een weerstand op mijn PCB-prototype – hoe voeg ik er een toe?

I need to add a resistor into a data line on my project. The data line is a trace and carries low speed data. A through-hole resistor will be fine. The pins for both ends of the trace are exposed, but how do I add the resistor and remove the trace?

If your PCB has a solder mask, you can fix this with an SMT resistor even when traces are close together. Cut the trace and scrape the solder mask away on both sides of the cut, over a few mm. Solder an 0603 of 0402 over the cut. If I patch like that, I actually make two cuts a mm apart, and remove the trace by dental pick between both cuts to make sure there’s a decent interruption of the trace.
alternatief, you can do the same and solder a PTH resistor, whose wires you first bent so that they lay flat on the trace. Won’t probably work as well on narrow traces, like 0.5mm.
