FAQs about Rigid PCB Capabilities

JLCPCB supports up to 32 layers in standard production. Layers from 1 to 6 offer the optimal balance between cost, lead time, and reliability. For designs exceeding 10 layers, we recommend submitting the stack-up diagram for engineering review prior to ordering to ensure manufacturability and controlled impedance performance.
