Here’s a PCB fabrication process that makes us envious. It’s pretty darn close to fab-house quality at home. [Cpirius] is using a CNC mill and through hole plating technique to produce … ...

Of course, one easy way to get nice plated through vias (and holes) is to just go ahead and have the boards made professionally. Posted in Tool Hacks Tagged conductive ink , pcb , plated through ...

It is slick, but shares the problem of no plated-through holes. Still, one nice thing about both home-brew methods is that you can make boards with large copper areas that serve as ground planes ...

In order to transfer electronic signals through to all the layers, these are connected by plated through-holes, also called vias (vertical interconnect access), which are electroplated with an ...

Component choices can change throughout the design process. Choosing which parts should be Plated Through Hole (PTH) or Surface Mount Technology (SMT) early in the design process can assist the entire ...

A step-down PCB is simply a multilayer PCB whose board thickness is reduced (stepped down) in a few places. The step-down is ...

CAMBRIDGE, UK — The kinky pin from Oxley Developments Company, originally designed for select-on-test plated through hole PCB assembly, is now more commonly used as a compliant fit pin which ...

Generally, PCB layers for general automotive applications are six, maybe eight layers, but for more complex applications, they can go up to 16-layer PCBs. These boards tend to use less expensive ...
