I hate those vias. I mean it works. But its so much work. The upper two are GND and supposed to be. The island in the middle is GND and supposed to be. I wouldnt mind if it floated either. The lower right is a signal and not shorted to GND, believe it or not. Ofc the trace had to lift when drilling hence the blob.
Any better ways to do this? It must allow mounting of THT mind you.
You know, like when you have a THT cap, you put that in, now you can only solder on the bottom. So you need a way back up if the trace or fill is on top where the cap sits.
What I sometimes do is place a via adjacent to the THT hole, isolate the two holes shared island on the bottom, stuff that hole with wire, solder both sides, then place the cap and solder that. It wont always work and it's not really nice either.
Suggestions?
Oh I wont do the silver laquer followed by electro plating shit. Thats the worst.
