SMT Assembly vs. Through-Hole: What to Know

Despite the prevalence of newer surface mount technology, THT still retains several unique benefits that underscore its enduring relevance. Find out which method is best for your projects. In electronics assembly, you’ll typically deal with two main component assembly methods: Surface-mount technology (SMT) assembly and Through-hole assembly (THT).SMT assembly is a technique where components are placed directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB). This efficient method leads to a densely packed yet lighter final product. In contrast, through-hole assembly has been around for a while. Here, components are inserted into pre-drilled holes on the PCB and then wave-soldered from the bottom to fill the holes and establish the necessary interconnections. […]
