THT assembly, also means through hole assembly, is where component leads are passed through pre drilled holes in the PCB and soldered to the other side.

Generally it is used for Mechanical strength applications (namely electrical connectors transformers large capacitors) or for prototypes/Vintage applications where SMT cannot be used. THT tends to be more reliable in bled environments/higher temperture.

DIP (Dual In-line Package) and THT (Through-Hole Technology) are both important terms in the field of electronic component packaging and PCB assembly.

DIP, also known as Dual In-line Package or DIL Package, refers to a specific type of electronic component packaging that features two parallel rows of pins or leads extending from the bottom of the package. DIP package is widely used in electronic assemblies due to their compact size and ease of insertion into PCBs.

THT, on the other hand, stands for Through-Hole Technology. It refers to the manufacturing process that involves drilling holes on a PCB and inserting component leads or pins through these holes. The components are then soldered on the opposite side of the PCB to establish electrical connections.

While DIP is commonly associated with the type of component package used in PCB assembly, THT is the manufacturing process that involves the insertion and soldering of components through holes.

Yes. We have wave soldering equipment for production quantities and selective soldering machines, also. If the design is a prototype, or a small quantity is to be assembled, or if the parts are sensitive, we offer professional hand soldering (IPC certified).

Yes, lead trimming is included in the THT package. We do that after soldering and cut excess leads to a defined length (usually 1–2 mm above board level) in accordance with your instructions or IPC standards. We offer clinching (bending the leads before soldering) too.

Yes. You choose turnkey (we source component and box build) or consigned (you supply the parts). We have stock of most standard through-hole (tapers sockets capacitor, resistor packs etc), and supply or help sourcing more obscure or hard to find components from reputable distributors.

Yes. When a component is inserted incorrectly or a solder joint doesn’t pass inspection our rework technicians will use a soldering iron, a desoldering gun and a hot-air station to extract and replace THT devices without damaging the board or any nearby parts.
