Printed Circuit Board Assembly | PCB

PTH Technology is implemented for those products where overall size of the board is not a major concern. The discrete components are inserted into holes bored through the circuit board and then the connections between the component leads and the circuit board pads are soldered beneath the printed circuit board. Lately, consumer penchant for smaller product sizes has led to the gradual decline of PTH Technology and the gradual growth of SMT technology in PCB assembly. In addition to smaller product sizes, SMT technology also offers improved functionality and stability. The various shapes, sizes and configurations of permissible surface mounted components have made possible the assembly of a huge number of discrete electronic components on a single printed circuit board, resulting in increased component density and smaller product sizes.
