2camjohn Member Nov 8, 2004 #1 When I need to connect the tracks on one side of my PCB with the other i just use a peice of single core wire and solder at each side. I have noticed on professional PCBs that there is a much lower profile way of connecting both sides of a PCB, it uses a small ring of metal somehow. Can someone explain what this is and how it works? Thanks John
