Surface Mount (SMT) PCB Assembly
Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is now the predominant method in PCB Assemblies. This is where components are attached exclusively to the top or bottom layer of a PCB. This technology has revolutionised PCB assembly and design. It’s doen this by allowing smaller, higher-density components, effectively miniaturising circuits that once occupied entire boards.
SMT components are machine-assembled using solder paste, a Pick and Place machine, and a reflow oven. This manufacturing process is much faster per pin than traditional through-hole methods and requires minimal human intervention beyond the initial setup.
SMT’s efficiency and precision have made it a staple in modern PCB Assembly and electronics manufacturing, enabling the creation of more compact and complex devices.
Through Hole (THT) PCB Assembly
Through Hole Technology (THT) was the standard in PCB assembly before the advent of SMT. It involves placing components through pre-drilled holes on a PCB and soldering them manually on the opposite side.
Despite the rise of SMT, THT remains crucial in modern PCB assemblies due to its unique advantages.
Components attached through THT have stronger adhesion to the PCB. This is key in providing the mechanical strength necessary for parts like connectors, battery holders, and heavy capacitors to withstand usage stresses.
THT also offers greater flexibility in the size and shape of components that can be placed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to provide?
How long will it take?
How will you inspect the PCBAs and confirm they are working?
How can I stand the best chance of my prototype PCBAs being perfect?
How do I get unit prices down when I’m building production quantities?
Quantity is king. Building a small number of units will always equate to a high unit cost, the more you can build in a single run – the lower the cost of each unit. DSL enable our clients to get the best of both worlds by building large quantity runs, but allowing you to call them off on a weekly/monthly basis with entirely flexible PCB Assembly delivery schedules where you only pay when we ship you units.
