I agree with Don.

This is why the wrap spec was not altered.

That is what I recall as well; it does not get added to wrap.

Wendi,
The class 3/A requirements for Plating/Coating Thickness only address
the requirements for the first two rows (titled "Copper-average" and
"Thin areas") of Tables 3-3, 3-4 and 3-5.  At least that is what I
believe the intent of the sentence "The following apply to minimum
copper average and minimum thin areas:"....which we put in the Class 3/A
box in the table.

There was not a separate revised Class 3/A requirement created for the
third row of each of the tables ("wrap"), so the values listed for Class
3 "wrap" in each of the three tables is applicable to Class 3/A
products.

I need some clarification on the requirement for Plating/Coating
Thickness.  The 3/A page requires additional copper thickness above
class 3 to be added to tables 3-3, 3-4 and 3-5.  Does this also apply to
the minimum wrap thickness?  (Example) Is it required for a
non-conductive filled through via to have .944 mils of wrap (table 3-3)?
It's a bit confusing as it says to apply to minimum copper average and
minimum thin areas.
