You could probably put vias in the area if you "Tent" them (cover with solder mask). The screw terminal is used for wires and having a no via keepout will prevent the wire from touching any of them (if they are not Tented). |

Muthu - what CAD software do you use? As suggested, route and via keepout areas need placing on the component. This is simple in CADSTAR, what do you use? |

My doubt is either wire will be mount on top of the screw or in bettwen of slot side. |
