  • Manufacture of printed circuit boards
    Patent number: 4610758
    Abstract: A method of manufacture of a printed circuit board having plated-through holes interconnecting printed conductors formed on each of two external surfaces, includes the step of masking those areas of the external surfaces where solder will subsequently be required to adhere. The unmasked conductive areas are then coated with a material which prevents wetting by normal soldering techniques. The masking material is subsequently removed. The coating material may be electroless nickel, or electroplated nickel or suitable nickel alloys.
