Fresh PCB Concepts: Choosing Via Types—A Practical Guide for PCB Engineers
12/18/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsWhen you first learn PCB routing, vias look like plumbing: holes that let signals pass between layers. As designs become denser and products shrink, vias develop from simple interconnects into deliberate engineering choices. Selecting between through-hole, blind, buried, microvia, or advanced options like skip vias is a balancing act between electrical performance, manufacturability, cost, and long-term reliability. In HDI boards, via strategy is as consequential as the stackup, material selection, or component placement.
