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
