Ready to Shake, Rattle & Roll
Through-hole technology (THT) assembly offers distinct advantages, particularly in environments where mechanical strength, high power handling, and ease of manual assembly or repair are crucial.
THT components provide robust mechanical support, making them resilient against mechanical stress and vibration, ideal for automotive and industrial electronics applications. Additionally, their larger size and accessible leads facilitate manual assembly, repair, and testing, making THT assemblies suitable for prototyping, low-volume production, and testing phases.
While Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has gained prominence for its compactness and automation, THT assembly remains relevant for its suitability in specific applications and scenarios.
