In Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, space is at a premium. Engineers often utilize "2 Poles 1 Hole" setups for grounding and securing components. A bipolar capacitor or a specific connector might utilize two conductive poles that feed into a single grounding plane (the hole). This maximizes surface area for conductivity while minimizing the drill-through damage to the board.

In traditional mechanical fastening—think screws, bolts, or keys—you need precision. If you have two screws, you need two perfectly aligned holes. If the material expands or contracts due to temperature, the alignment can fail, leading to creaking, loosening, or breakage. 2poles1hole
