Method and apparatuses directed to printed circuit boards (PCB) including plated through-holes for interconnecting to plating busses are described herein. A PCB strip may include an inner circuitry layer comprising a plurality of trace lines, and a top circuitry layer formed over the inner circuitry layer, the top circuitry layer including a plating bus, and at least one plated through-hole interconnecting the plating bus to one or more trace lines of the inner circuitry layer. The plating bus of the top circuitry layer and the plated through-holes may be located within at least one saw street of the PCB strip.
