The PCB Norsemen: So Much More
Than Just Through Vias E
As most people know, compo-
nent holes are still highly nec-
essary for components that
require them, and clean lead-
through-holes (vias) have in-
creased in necessity over
the last 30 years. John Stein-
ar Johnsen explains how the challenges with
smaller diameter vias, perhaps depth-
controlled, have increased and are, in some
cases, challenging for those who produce
PCBs and have to assemble and handle solder
components.
