0.20 mm (8 mils) However, there are high quality fabrication shops that say they can do 0.15 mm (6 mils).
The big issue is the pad annular ring. The fab shop will add 3 - 4 mils to the finished hole size. Then you must consider drill drift and layer to layer tolerance of 3 mil. Then after the drill oversize and the layer to layer tolerance you still need to have 1 mil annular ring. IPC Class 3 Hole = 8 mil (0.20 mm) Pad = 20 mil (0.50 mm) IPC Class 2 Hole = 8 mil (0.20 mm) Pad = 18 mil (0.45 mm) The via hole tolerance would be +0, - the hole diameter |
