Abstract:
An electrical connector assembly includes a circuit board and an electrical connector mounted on the circuit board. The circuit board has a circuit board body having first and second surfaces and through-holes bored between the first and second surfaces. The circuit board has signal traces on internal layers of the circuit board that are generally parallel to the first and second surfaces. Portions of the circuit board body within the through-holes are etched away to expose portions of the signal traces beyond the circuit board body within the corresponding through-hole. The electrical connector includes a housing and signal terminals held by the housing. The signal terminals are received in respective through-holes of the circuit board and engage the corresponding signal traces.

Abstract:
The multilayer wiring board is provided with a lower layer wiring (8), and an upper layer wiring (10) formed on the lower layer wiring (8) through an interlayer insulating layer (9). On the interlayer insulating layer (9), a contact hole (11) is provided for interconnecting the upper layer wiring (8) with the lower layer wiring (10). A region surrounded by an inner wall (13) which forms the contact hole (11) is permitted to have a linewidth region wherein a wide line region (13A) and protruding regions (13B, 13C) as regions having different linewidths are connected. Thus, film thickness distribution of an ink baked product (12) formed at the contact hole (11) rises at the protruding regions (13B, 13C), and highly reliable multilayer interconnection can be performed between the lower layer wiring (8) and the upper layer wiring (10).
