A multi-layer PCB has conductive vias (134) passing through multiple layers. A layer may have a conductive non-functional feature (710) physically contacting a via but not surrounding the via, to make the PCB more resistant to thermal stresses while, at the same time, reducing the parasitic capacitance compared to a prior art non-functional pad (310n).
