 Point-to-point wiring is used as a marketing design feature rather than a result of the economics of very-small-scale production.Sometimes true point-to-point wiring—without terminal strips—with very short connections, is used at very high radio frequencies (in the gigahertz range) to minimise stray capacitance and inductance; the capacitance between a circuit-board trace and some other conductor, and the inductance of a short track, become significant or dominant at high frequencies.In some cases careful PCB layout on a substrate with good high-frequency properties (e.g., ceramic) is sufficient.
