Abstract

See full text

A printed circuit including a dielectric substrate and a conductive trace attached to a surface of the dielectric substrate. The trace includes a base layer and a coverplate layer on a portion of the base layer. The coverplate layer defines a coverplate edge on the base layer. A protective layer is formed on a portion of the coverplate layer. The protective layer extends beyond the coverplate edge onto at least a portion of the base layer of the trace. A key aspect of the present invention is that the protective layer overlaps the coverplate edge of each trace to reduce the potential for corrosion of the base layer at the coverplate edge.
