Actually the branch line is terminated in an open circuit.

How much lumped (or distributed) discontinuity is too much depends on your application as Mike suggests.

This is part of the reason behind counterboring the via to remove this stub length. I think that like most things in signal integrity land, I suspect that the answer to this will be=20 'It depends'. Depending on how many you have, how long they are, where they are and how fast you are=20 running will all have an effect on how long is long.

Is there an agreed upon definition for the word "stub" as in the case of a=20 stub on a PC board? Is there an agreed upon length beyond which a stub becomes a problem?
