Given a PCB with 4 layers, which via type would you use to connect only the top and second layers without passing through the entire board?

AThrough-hole via
BBlind via
CBuried via
DMicrovia
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand via types and layer connections

    Through-hole vias connect all layers; buried vias connect inner layers only; blind vias connect outer to inner layers.
  2. Step 2: Match via type to connection need

    To connect top and second layers only, a blind via is used because it does not go through the entire board.
  3. Final Answer:

    Blind via -> Option B
  4. Quick Check:

    Top to inner layer connection = Blind via [OK]
Quick Trick: Blind vias connect outer to inner layers only [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Choosing through-hole which connects all layers
  • Confusing buried vias with blind vias
  • Not knowing microvia specifics
