Abstract

Abstract A multi-layer circuit board which includes at least two boards carrying conductors and a shielding foil interposed between the two boards. The circuit board is provided with a through hole including a metallic lining in electrical connection with the shielding foil. The lining includes an insulating layer on which a conductive metal layer is disposed. The metal layer, electrically separated from the lining by the insulating layer, is in electrical connection at respective ends thereof with the conductors. By virtue of this arrangement a coaxial design of a through hole results thereby permitting a total decoupling with respect to adjacent or neighboring through hole connections.
