SMT vs THT Assembly: Differences and Choosing the Right Technology
14 August 2026
Learn the differences between SMT and THT assembly — packing density, mechanical strength, cost. Find out which assembly technology your project needs.
Contract electronics manufacturing — what it is and how it works in practice
6 August 2026
An in-house production line means cost, time and risk — and not every company has to take it on. Find out how working with an EMS partner looks in practice: from component procurement, through PCB assembly, to testing and shipping of the finished device, and what to look for when choosing a supplier.
Surface mount technology (SMT) — technology, process and applications
6 August 2026
Why has SMT dominated electronics production and how does it differ from the older THT technology? We take you step by step through the surface mount process — from solder paste application, through pick&place, to AOI inspection.
Through-hole technology (THT) — technology, applications and process
6 August 2026
Despite the miniaturization of electronics, THT still wins wherever mechanical strength and heat dissipation matter. We explain when through-hole assembly is worth choosing, what the process looks like and why it often goes hand in hand with SMT.
