Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Plating thru holes... electroplating question....

2005-06-03 by Tony Harris

Ok, next stupid question...
 
Let's say I drill all my holes, and plate.
 
Now I take it to etching - how do I protect my thruholes from being etched away?  Also, if I am doing toner transfer, do I transfer the toner - drill - plate then etch?

You plate before you etch the traces, then all is still connected.
for small stuff, for example gold plating edge connectors, you can connect 
the fingers at the end and cut the connection away later.
