Abstract
Abstract Artwork for printed circuit boards with plated-through holes is made with terminal area pads having center openings covered with an optical filter, preferably a colored strip. These pads permit photographic techniques to be used in making circuit pattern transparencies with and without pad center hole images and thus simplify this part of the process of making such printed circuit boards. The pads are formed by successively punching center openings in a continuous sheet of pad material, adhesively pressing a like sheet of filter material against the perforate sheet, cutting the pad shape in the double laminate, and removing the severed pads from the parent stock.
