Re: Electroplating and VIAs

2009-01-19 by Steve

Have you checked the Links under "Plated Through Holes" yet? Not many
links there, but it is something. Markus Zingg's page on through hole
plating has been down for a while, but I just found where someone
mirrored it and put that link in place of the missing site.

If you find any other links on through-hole plating, please place them
there.
