Backdrill Capabilities
By removing the unused portion of copper from the barrel of Plated Through Holes used for high-speed signal lines, thesignal quality can be increased by reducing the attenuation caused by the excess copper in the barrel. Primarily used onbackplanes, this practice has started to become more common on Daughtercards and Rigid-Flex.
