Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some feedback about through hole assembly requirements today vs. yesteryear. As I see it, there are two main categories...legacy through hole and new through hole with mixed technology. The legacy stuff is older designs

So we all know through hole assembly hasn't been completely eradicated. I am doing some research as to the types of through hole assembly that still remain. My questions are related to through hole requirements and past, current and future methodol

Interesting, see we used to do a large amount of PTH but we have been able to convert most of those parts to SMT now. the majority of our PTH is connectors. I am doing some research as to the types of through hole assembly that still remain.- This d

Hi Reese, Thanks for the feedback. So you have a fair amount of assemblies that are new designs with 10% through hole parts. Are these parts inserted manually? What is the soldering process?...wave solder?...selective solder? Do these components

Hi Barry, One consideration that you may want to consider is the lead to hole ratio. The higher the ratio, the less solder is required to fill in the gaps and give you a fillet. Heat is a concern. You will need to ensure components will take the he

Thank You Adam...this is the type of input I am looking for. To summarize, you are an OEM that has gone through the process to remove most through hole parts from your assemblies. Those that remain are primarily connectors which may not require lea

Wow, great information! I have a feeling you are talking about some predominantly through hole assemblies with mostly common components. In this case fully automated solutions make sense if the volume is there. But these machines cannot do everyth

Hi J_Dub, thanks for the continued info...Of course selective soldering would be very time consuming for such a through hole assembly...but 18 minutes, wow...didn't realize selective soldering could take that long. I would like to know the approxima

I have been tasked with finding the equipment necessary to fully automate our TH assembly. Currently about 98% is performed manually on stuff lines with the other 2% using a 30 year old axial inserter. I am asking if anyone else has gone down this pa

Yes, my research and feedback from one supplier in particular is that their feeders can preform, cut and clinch (although I'm not sure why you would need the clinch). We will be sending them a small kit to demonstrate to us (online) its capabilities
