Vias

Single-ended vias

Vias (vertical interconnect access) are an essential part of a multilayered PCB (printed circuit board) design. Vias make an electrical connection between the different layers of a PCB. These are constructed by placing copper pads on each layer of the PCB and drilling a hole through them. The inner part of the via, is filled with a non-conductive material, and the outer layer are coated with a conductive plating used to connect each layer in the PCB.
