* Plating is typically avoidable by making vias with a diameter of 40 mil (1 mm). A standard 0.1” header pin can then be pushed through and soldered on both the top and bottom. | * Plating is typically avoidable by making vias with a diameter of 40 mil (1 mm).

However, it will also increase etch time. | + | * Higher polygon isolation will reduce the chance of bridging to a plane during assembly (since we don’t really offer soldermask).
