"Plated through-hole" and "via" are not synonyms. PTHs are plated holes through which you insert a component lead; vias are plated holes through which component leads are not placed.

That's right. Besides, conversely, not *all* vias are PTH. Blind and buried vias are *not* through-holes at all. :)

AFAIK they all start out as plated through holes.  And then loose the through part when layers are stacked.  But from the standpoint of completed PCB usage you are perfectly correct.

so now pronounce "viaduct"

It just wouldn't be English if spelling or pronunciation were consistent.  Even within a regional dialect.

Goodness, she's scary. They might have been wiser to just use an audio-only recording! :P

No emotion. Is she real, or a bot?

Yes, I've heard both pronunciations before.

Hair physics too detailed to be a bot....

Hey lady, blink twice if you're being held hostage.

In proper Oz English it is  "v-eye-uh".(with the "v" as in "very")
No, we don't have the gaps----- they are just to show the pronunciation of the individual elements.

Just add an "eh" to the end and everything will work out. At least that's how we do it in Canader eh.
