Small PTH Board

A demonstration KiCad project for a small PTH (Plated Through Hole) circuit board.

Specifications

Board Size: 80mm x 60mm (maximum dimensions)
Component Type: PTH (Plated Through Hole) components only
Layer Count: 2-layer board (Front and Back copper)
Board Thickness: 1.6mm standard
Compatible Manufacturers:
- OSHpark.com
- PCBway.com
- Other small-batch PCB fabrication services

Features

Simple LED blink circuit demonstration
Standard PTH footprints:
- 2-pin power connector (2.54mm pin header)
- Through-hole resistor (330Ω)
- 5mm LED
Ground plane on both layers
Proper design rules for small-batch fabrication

Design Rules

Minimum track width: 0.25mm (9.8 mil)
Minimum clearance: 0.2mm (7.9 mil)
Via size: 0.8mm diameter / 0.4mm drill
Standard PTH pad sizes (1.6-1.8mm)

Files Included

small-pth-board.kicad_pro - KiCad project file
small-pth-board.kicad_sch - Schematic file
small-pth-board.kicad_pcb - PCB layout file

Getting Started

Open the project in KiCad 6.0 or later
Review the schematic in the schematic editor
Open the PCB layout to see the board design
Generate Gerber files for manufacturing:
- File → Fabrication Outputs → Gerbers (.gbr)
- File → Fabrication Outputs → Drill Files (.drl)

Manufacturing Notes

This board design follows standard specifications that are compatible with most PCB manufacturers including OSHpark and PCBway. The design uses:

Standard 2-layer stackup
Minimum features well within typical manufacturing capabilities
PTH components only (no SMD components)
Clear silkscreen markings
Proper board outline on Edge.Cuts layer
