Through-Hole (TH) Technology: An Ultimate Guide

Through-Hole (TH) Technology: An Ultimate Guide What is Through-Hole Technology? Through-Hole Technology (THT) involves mounting electronic components onto a PCB by inserting their leads through drilled holes and soldering them to pads on the opposite side. This method, which predates SMT, was the industry standard until the 1980s. While SMT now dominates mass production, THT […]

PCB Assembly Process: A Comprehensive Guide

PCB Assembly Process: A Comprehensive Guide What is PCB Assembly? PCB assembly (PCBA) is the process of mounting and soldering electronic components onto a printed circuit board. This transforms a bare board into a functional unit ready for integration into devices.  The complexity of PCBA depends on the design, component types, and application requirements. Whether it’s […]
