Through Hole PCB Assembly

Through Hole PCB Assembly

Through-hole PCB assembly is a manufacturing process that involves soldering component leads or pins into holes in a printed circuit board (PCB). This method was traditionally used in the production of PCBs and is still in use today, though surface mount technology has largely replaced it in mass production (SMT).

Committed to Manufacturing Solutions

Through-hole assembly is a method of making electronic circuits in which elements are installed through leads. It is the process of inserting leads into drilled holes and soldering components to the board with wave soldering or manual soldering. In through-hole PCB assembly, the holes in the PCB are drilled or punched to precise dimensions, and the component leads are inserted through the holes and soldered to the PCB to create a secure electrical connection. This can be done either manually or with the help of automated machinery.

Testing Procedures

Through-hole PCB assembly has several advantages, including:

  • High dependability: Because the components are securely anchored to the PCB, the assembly is less likely to fail due to mechanical stress or vibration.
  • Repairability: If a component fails, through-hole PCB assembly makes it relatively simple to remove and replace it.
  • High current carrying capacity: Through-hole PCB assembly allows for greater current capacity than surface mount components due to larger hole size and longer lead length.

However, when compared to surface mount technology, through-hole PCB assembly has some drawbacks, including:

Price increase: Through-hole PCB assembly is generally more labor-intensive and requires more expensive equipment than surface mount assembly, making it more expensive.
Larger size: Through-hole assembly components and PCBs are typically larger than surface mount components, which can be an issue for compact designs.
Reduced density: In general, through-hole PCB assembly is less dense than surface mount assembly, which can be an issue for high-density designs.

Despite these drawbacks, through-hole PCB assembly is still used in a wide range of applications where the benefits outweigh the costs, such as military, aerospace, and medical equipment.

Michaela ★★★★★

The assembled PCBs that were delivered worked flawlessly. The component placement is excellent. Mis wang, the WINOW engineer in charge of our project, and I hit it off right away. She asked pertinent questions to ensure that the project was properly completed. We had a very nice, short, and to-the-point conversation.

Herbert ★★★★★

This board is required to charge my robotic platform's lipo batteries (rover). First-time order with excellent communication throughout the ordering process, manufacturing progress, and tracking up to delivery. Very good price, especially for the first order with a credit for a discount.

Al Lemke ★★★★★

The boards arrived yesterday, and assembly has begun. Excellent solder wetting, clean line definition, and drill holes that are precisely in the center of the via lands.
Please convey my gratitude to everyone who created such wonderful boards.
