THT assembly (Through-Hole Technology), or through-hole technology, is a technology for assembling electronic components on printed circuit boards (PCB). The technology consists in inserting elements with leads through metallized holes in the PCB, and then soldering them from the other side of the PCB. Elements can be placed by hand or by machine. Soldering can…
The history of the JUKI brand. Many of you associate the name JUKI with a manufacturer of sewing machines for domestic and industrial use. As a hobby, maybe we are fans of clothing creations created at home, but professionally – the JUKI company – interests us more in other aspects. Not everyone knows that this…
Printed circuit boards are a key component of almost every electronic device. The complexity of printed circuits increases with the complexity of electronic systems. Multilayer boards offer many possibilities which are not available in the case of single-layer or double-layer PCBs. One of the most popular solutions in the world of electronics are four-layer boards,…
SMT assembly (surface-mount technology), in other words surface mounting, is, next to THT, the most common method of mounting elements. In this case, the elements do not have long leads passing through the holes in the PCB, but their leads are flat, equal with the base of the housing. They are placed directly on the…
