0.02" Drill Size

Hello everyone,

Just had a quick question regarding drill sizes and BatchPCB. I just sent out some board that are currently being panelized, quite a few boards that were not cheap, and I was just looking through my design and looked at a via I had made that is connected to VCC just to act as a test point. The drill size is 0.02", the outer and inner layer diameters are 0.036. Is this going to cause an issue at BatchPCB? This is the only via like this on my board, and it’s only purpose is to be a test point, I normally set my vias to be 0.03" and every board I have gotten has been perfect. And now I do this on the most expensive, complex design I have submitted to BatchPCB. If anyone could let me know I would greatly appreciate the help, I am officially stressing out right now. The only reason I noticed it was because I ran a DRC in Eagle and notified me that I failed the Drill Size. Hopefully this will be okay, the minimum drill size stated on BatchPCB’s website for 2-layer boards is 20mil. Is this correct? Will my board make it through the manufacturing process?

Thanks again guys! All help is greatly appreciated!

You answered your own question - not sure what you're worried about.

I have tried contacting them on a few different occasions and I have never gotten a reply in return.

The main thing that concerns me is that it failed the Eagle DRC because of the drill size. It passed BatchPCB’s DRC bot however, so just to try it out, I changed a via on the board to 10mil and submitted the board and it still passed the BatchPCB DRC, so I am guessing there is not something completely right with that.

Eagle DRC is using whatever you tell it to use. You comply with the stated minimum hole size on BatchPCB's website so I repeat: what are you worried about???

@whitnasty1:You must have received the boards and had tested them by now. So, did they work as you had wanted? My gues is that your boards were perfectly fine but I may be wrong too. When you mentioned your concerns over 10mil drill size passing when their minimum drill size is 20 mil, which I think is a glitch on the software and should not be taken lightly.
