Abstract:
A multilayer printed circuit board with at least one through hole perpendicular to the plane of the layers of the multiplayer printed circuit board, said multiplayer printed circuit board having at least four trace layers with foil conductors therein and non-conductive materials between each of said four trace layers, said multilayer printed circuit board having lodged within said through hole two conductive stakes, each of said two conductive stakes having an inner side, the inner side of each stake directed toward a center of said through hole, there being a space within said through hole separating said inner sided of said two stakes, said two conductive stakes providing electrical contact to at least two conductive foils in two of said trace layers separated by a layer of non-conductive material, thus establishing by each said conductive stake an electrical pathway between said foils.
