Dutch term or phrase: doormetalisering
De keurcriteria voor dubbelzijdige printen met doormetalisering zijn overeenkomstig het in de norm ANSI/IPC-A-600D gestelde.

Het gaat hier dus om de verbinding van de ene kant van de print naar de andere. Is er iemand die regelmatig een soldeerbout in de hand heeft en hier de Engelse kreet voor weet?

through-hole metallisation
Explanation:
Through-hole metallisation/metalization (UK/US)

Through-Hole Metallisation: to bring the signals on the outer layers tothe central one, through-holes have to be designed in the circuit. Etching isextremley important to preserve good ohmic contacts. In fact early prototypeswere affected by interruptions of the power lines, because of a poor metallisa-tion of the holes. Metallisation is strongly dependent on the previuos etchingoperations to clean the surface of the hole and to let the copper adhere easier.Also, metallisation adds ED copper on the outer layers necessarily. Productionengineering has to provide an accurate control of the ED deposited not to exceedfew microns of thickness.

However, electroless copper has remained the standard through hole metalization process in the fabrication of high reliability multilayer printed wiring boards.

agree  Jack den Haan: Ik zou het gewoon letterlijk op 'through-metallisation' houden. Zie bijv. http://www.franklin-industries.be/English/Company_en.html

  -> Dat was ook mijn eerste gedachte, maar na een zoektocht op Google bleek dat "through-hole metallisation" toch de gangbare term is. Meeste hits overigens op "through-hole metallization".

agree  Ken Cox: or 'through-hole plating' in more casual usage. 'through metallisation' strikes me as an uninformed translation.

  -> Thanks, Ken. Apparently, 'through-hole plating' is even more common than 'through-hole metallisation'.
