Considering SMT for mass production

Considering SMT for mass production

 SMT for mass production excellence is about speed, quality, and cost. To meet your dynamic market needs, your company should be able to pivot based on changing demand levels. At a time, "Through-Hole" technology dominated the manufacturing market as it was a huge step forward from hand-crafted solutions, but this still had significant problems. Despite...

MIGRATING THROUGH-HOLE PCB TO SMT PCB

MIGRATING THROUGH-HOLE PCB TO SMT PCB

Converting your older through-hole PCB design to SMT is a fairly inexpensive process that can save you in the long run. This conversion needs engineering expertise coupled with an intimate understanding of surface mount manufacturing processes. What are the benefits of Through-Hole to SMT Conversion? Many through-hole components are being obsolete by electronic manufacturers. Moreover,...

Who is the winner: Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) or Plated Through-Hole Technology (THT)?

Who is the winner: Surface-Mount Technology (SMT) or Plated Through-Hole Technology (THT)?

It is undeniably evident how tedious the task of developing a new PCB is. Especially, looking through tens or even hundreds of variants of a part and checking on the current stock, future availability, and replacement parts. However, it is important to take the most fundamental decision: Surface-mount technology (SMT) or Through-hole technology (THT)?...
