Am  looking for a definition of Thieving when applied to PCB  fabs.




Hi Berry,

In some cases it refers to the practice of nasty curs who make  off with gold
scrap and other valuables late at night... ;-)

But I believe that you are asking about non functional areas of the circuit
that are patterned to even out current distribution so that plating is more
uniform, a fairly common practice.

Kind regards,
Joe
