Every PCB is a unique design so the manufacturing configuration will be different depending on your design. Please be very careful on selecting parameters on the JLCPCB ordering page. You do not want to make a trivial mistake and waste money when ordering your PCB.
Step 1: Generate gerber files
https://jlcpcb.com/help/article/how-to-export-pcb-to-gerber-files-in-altium24
Please review the gerber files in an online gerber viewer (e.g. PCBWay Online Gerber Viewer)
Steps below are for the JLCPCB order coordinator, that said feel free to consult the step below when you order PCB for yourself.
Step 2: Configure PCB manufacturing parameters
Once you upload the gerber files, you should reach this page shown below.
The following check is mandatory:
- Via is at least tented. Upgrade to Epoxy Filled & Capped is available for free if board layer >= 6
- Change the stencil dimension to fit your board size, don’t use the default dimension as it adds shipping cost.
For other parameters, you can leave the same as shown in the screenshots above. However, there are some parameters we suggest you to consider:
Board Color (Black might be free under unknown conditions)
If you need to change layer stackup, choose Yes for Impedance Control
Higher Inner/Outer Copper Weight increase PCB current carrying abilities
Remove Mark on PCB might be free under unknown conditions
Step 3: Select boards you want to order and click Secure Checkout
Step 4: Make sure to use WARG Shipping Address
Step 5: Payment
Note that the Grand Total price is in USD, not in CAD. Though it’s recommended to pay using a CAD card to simplify reimbursement process.
