• Transistors work as switches or make signals stronger.

• Integrated circuits put many jobs into one part.

• Connectors and switches give strong links and let you control things.

• Relays and fuses keep your printed circuit board safe from too much power.

There are two main lead types in through hole technology. Axial leads go from one end of the part to the other. Radial leads stick out from the same side. Knowing this helps you pick the right layout for your assembly.

Why Choose Through Hole Technology

Through hole technology gives you strong and steady builds. The leads go through the printed circuit board and get soldered on the back. This makes a tough bond that can handle shaking and stress. You will see through hole assemblies in places like factories, cars, and airplanes where things need to last.

Through hole technology fits many sizes and types of parts. It makes it easier to solder by hand and fix things. You can test and check your assembly without much trouble. The solder joints in through hole assembly can take heat and force. This helps your assemblies last longer, even when things get rough.

Resistors in Through-Hole Assembly

Axial and Radial Types

There are two main resistor types in through-hole assembly: axial and radial. Axial leaded resistors have leads on both ends. You put these standing up from the PCB surface. This type is strong but uses more space on your board. Radial leaded resistors have both leads on one side. You lay these flat on the PCB surface. This saves space and is good for small designs.

You pick which type to use by thinking about space and strength.

Reliability and Applications

Through-hole resistors make strong and steady connections. The leads go through the PCB and get soldered tight. This helps parts handle shaking, bumps, and heat. You find these resistors in cars, planes, and big machines where they must work well.

• Through-hole assembly gives strong support.

• Soldering the leads through the board keeps them in place.

• These parts work in places with lots of power and heat.

• In tough places, they can last ten years with very few problems.

• You can fix or swap these parts easily when needed.

At LTPCBA, experts put resistors together with care. The team solders carefully and checks quality every time. Each assembly meets high standards, so your projects stay safe and work well.

Capacitors for Through Hole Technology

Electrolytic, Ceramic, Film

There are three main capacitor types in through hole technology: electrolytic, ceramic, and film. Each type has special features for your assemblies. Electrolytic capacitors hold a lot of charge and work well in power supply circuits. You must watch their polarity when putting them in. Ceramic capacitors do not have polarity and are very reliable. These parts can handle voltage changes and fit many designs. Film capacitors last a long time and work well for filtering and timing.

The way the leads are set up changes how you place them on your board. Radial lead capacitors have both leads on one side, so they save space and stand up straight. Axial lead capacitors have leads on both ends, giving you more ways to arrange them. You need to think about where and how to put each one to get the best results.

Tip: Always look at the lead direction before you solder. This step helps stop mistakes and keeps your parts safe.

Mechanical Strength

Through hole technology makes your assemblies strong. The leads go through the PCB and get soldered on the other side. This makes a tight bond that can take shaking, bumps, and heat changes. Through hole parts are tougher than surface-mount ones. Tests show through hole technology can handle over 1,000 hot and cold cycles before wearing out. These parts do not break easily, so they are good for cars, planes, and factories.

You will see through hole technology helps your assemblies in hard places. Soldering these parts gives a tight fit and long life. You can count on through hole technology to keep your circuits working, even when things get rough.

Inductors and Coils

Common Types
