JLCPCB Monthly 6-8 Layer High Precision PCBs for $0

Currently, on JLCPCB, we have launched several promotions for multilayer PCB prototyping. We no longer have extra charges for via-in-pad on 6-20 layer PCBs. Additionally, we offer a monthly chance to get your 6-8 layer PCB order (size within 5cm*5cm, 5 pcs) for $0 by redeeming a monthly $2 coupon. You can claim the FREE coupon for 6-8 layer PCB every month on the JLC Coupon Center

Even without the $2 off coupon, the 6-8 layer boards within 5cm*5cm (5pcs with ENIG and via-in-pad) will still be reduced from over $100 to a special price of $2, saving you hundreds of dollars with our large-scale production capabilities.

Moreover, we've also made some adjustments to the price of 6-layer PCBs, for boards within 10cm*10cm (5pcs) and within 5cm*5cm (10pcs), the price has been reduced from about $85 to $60-63, and the engineering fee has been adjusted from more than $100 to $60 (board thickness within 2.0, 2.0 is not included). Allow everyone to truly grab the benefits of the JLCPCB advanced fabrication.

Free ENIG & via-in-pad, why are they important?

For multilayer PCBs, especially for 6 layers and above, ENIG and via-in-pad are both critical tools to improve the PCB performance.

For 6 layers and above we usually recommend ENIG as the surface finish. Because these boards are often used with high lead-density parts that need a very flat, even surface to solder onto. ENIG gives solder pads excellent flatness, better conductivity, and solderability to help with this.

On the other hand, via in the pad, known as VIP, that the vias are punched on the pads of SMD and BGA parts, is vital as well. JLCPCB Plating Over Filled Via (POFV) manufacturing not only helps to reduce the design engineers' pressure, but greatly improves the PCB quality and electrical performance for higher design effectiveness; it also reduces the volume of the circuit board layout.

How JLCPCB makes via-in-pad?

The four pads on the left-hand side were made with via-in-pad: the via holes in the pads have been plugged with epoxy and then plated over with copper (“capped”) to create an almost-flat surface. The pad on the right-hand side was produced with a regular process and the via hole is exposed; this is undesirable because during reflow soldering the solder can be wicked into the hole then the component will not be totally soldered which could make it easily disconnected.

JLCPCB’s high-quality and stable filled-and-capped vias use a combination of plugging and capping. This process creates the following via structure: In the via-in-pad process, the copper on the finished surface of the PCB is electroplated twice, once for the hole-in-disk hole copper plating, and once for the non-in-disk hole-in-hole copper plating.

The inside of the hole in the disk is first plugged with resin, then cured, and then polished. Therefore, the requirements for the equipment are relatively strict. Usually, a vacuum plugging machine and a resin grinding machine are used. Although more complex to produce, their excellent performance and the convenience they bring into the design process are definitely worth the extra steps.
