Introduction As PCB designs continue to evolve toward higher density, finer pitch, and faster signal speeds, traditional inspection methods such as visual checks or AOI are no longer sufficient. Even ...

What Is Via-in-Pad (VIP)? Via-in-Pad (VIP) is an advanced PCB design technique where a via is placed directly inside the pad of a surface-mounted component. Unlike traditional “dog-bone” fanout routing, ...

What Are Blind Vias and Buried Vias? Blind vias and buried vias are advanced types of plated vias used in multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs) to connect different layers without ...

What Is PCB Side Plating? PCB side plating, also known as edge plating, border plating, or castellation, refers to the process of applying a continuous metal (typically copper) layer along ...

What Are Plated Through Slots? Plated Through Slots (PTS) are non-circular holes or slots in a printed circuit board (PCB) that are plated with copper, allowing electrical connections between different ...

What Are PCB Gold Fingers? PCB gold fingers refer to the gold-plated contact pads located along the edge of a printed circuit board (PCB). These connectors act as the interface ...
