...................... and to maintain even etching and plating distribution over the whole board and thus avoid problems during PCB manufacture............
-----Original Message----- From: Stephen Phillips [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 18 January 2001 14:33 To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: Copper Thieving Copper applied to the outer PCB layers, in a pattern, to even out the copper placement so the board is less likely to warp through soldering. Obviously, it would be put where there is not etch, large open areas, to somewhat offset where you might have planes of copper elsewhere on the layer. Beware of Creepage and Clearance violations (if applicable). Some PCB fab. houses have carte-blanche to add this, we don't allow that - and control it as part of our own PCB CAD instead.
