Circuit board via connections

摘要

A "Gatling gun" via to interconnect circuit from a first side of a substrate or printed circuit board, to a second side of the substrate or board. The present via structure comprises a center conductor via 130 surrounded by a plurality of ground vias (eg 132, 134). The plurality of ground vias shield the center conductor via, thus providing electrical isolation for the conductor via from the rest of the circuitry. In one embodiment, the conductor via is electrically connected to a conductive pattern on the substrate by a wire bond.
