PCB routing T joint alternative

There's nothing wrong with a T joint (with two 90° angles).

But if you really want to avoid it, it might be possible to route the entire line through the pad:

route through pad


Why not take the track point from the resistor pad?

Apologies... my KiCAD is broken (recompiling now)

Do not use Tyler's suggestion. You never want to have acute angles, as you seem to know already.

There really isn't anything wrong with T-junctions, especially if you use "teardrops" (or fill in the 90-degree corners):

Personally I just use "Y" junctions, which only have one 90-degree corner:

Take your pick, but don't use Tyler's suggestion. Acute angles can trap etchant which can eat away at the copper over time. This isn't as much of a problem nowadays but it's still best practice to avoid such routing.
