Why do we still use through-hole technology to make PCB assemblies, when SMT (surface mount technology) boards are typically smaller and cheaper?
For many contract manufacturers, through-hole PCB assembly is a distraction from their higher-volume SMT business. But since through-hole components are essential for many applications, you should know how well your contract manufacturer is equipped to handle them. At Z-AXIS, we run mixed-technology PCBs (a combination of through-hole and SMT components) every day at our manufacturing center in western New York. We have honed our ability to produce them at reasonable cost and high quality in the USA. Here’s how.
