An anti pad in PCB design refers to a specific area around a via or pad where copper is intentionally removed or kept clear to prevent unintentional electrical connections. This creates a gap between the conductive pad and the net associated with the surrounding layer, helping to avoid issues like shorts or undesired capacitance. Anti pads are especially crucial in multilayer PCBs, where they ensure proper isolation between different layers and maintain signal integrity.
