Some Major Differences between Surface Mounting and Through-Hole Mounting

Often known to have simplified the PCB manufacturing industry, SMT is a relatively newer and modern technique of making circuit boards. It came after through-hole method of mounting. Take a look at how PCB surface mount manufacturing is different from its predecessor.

  • Surface mount has significantly helped in resolving the space issues which was common in through-hole. Now PCB makers are able to mount dense components on a smaller surface, making the product more compact.
