Stupid- simple tip but worth it ....

2006-09-13 by lcdpublishing

Hi guys,

Many of us make double sided boards and have to create vias from one 
side to the other. Often it's a piece of wire or a cut-off leg of a 
component.

For power routings I just realized that a header pin is great!  During 
diagnostics, testing, etc., it's always handy to have a place to clip 
on a test lead for checking voltages etc.  A header pin allows for 
that and creates the via.  Just a simple realization this morning, but 
in case you have not thought about it, there you go!

Chris
