PCB Wrap Plating: Critical Process In Circuit Board Manufacturing

Written by Ed McMahon
Posted on January 3, 2024 at 9:01 AM

Wrap plating is a technique used in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs) to create a conductive layer that connects the layers of the PCB together. The process involves plating copper onto the walls of through-holes and vias in the PCB, which are then used to make electrical connections between the layers.
