THT Assembly

We provide professional THT assembly services with leaded and lead-free soldering options

Through Hole PCB Assembly Services Offered by STHL

Through-hole assembly is commonly used in applications where longevity, dependability, and long-term operation are necessary, which ensure a stronger mechanical connection. This process is especially well-suited for heavy components, high-power equipment, and applications in which mechanical stress or harsh conditions are at issue. We assemble a wide range of THT components, including connectors (USB, terminal blocks, headers), large capacitors, inductors, relays, transformers, switches, and many electromechanical parts.

Through-Hole PCB Assembly FAQs

THT Assembly FAQ

What components can you do THT assembly?

+

We assemble a wide range of THT components, including connectors (USB, terminal blocks, headers), large capacitors and resistors, inductors, relays, transformers, switch buttons, and many electromechanical parts. All components are inserted through PCB holes according to design requirements.

Can you handle mixed-technology assembly (both THT and SMT)?

+

Absolutely. We specialize in mixed-technology assembly. After SMT components are placed and reflowed, THT insertion and soldering (wave soldering or manual soldering) are completed in-house, ensuring seamless integration and stable quality for complex hybrid PCBs.

What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

+

There is no MOQ limitation. We support customers from single-piece prototypes to high-volume production runs.

Do you accept some critical components supplied by customers themselves?

+

Yes. We support Customer-Provided Parts (CPP) as well as full turnkey service. We handle component inspection, kitting, and traceability to ensure assembly quality.

Can you assemble small-size or special-shaped PCBs?

+

Yes. We assemble PCBs of various sizes and shapes using dedicated THT fixtures or panelization with tooling edges.

Do you offer special assembly such as adding PCB White/Yellow glue?

+

Yes, we can add kinds of glue to your PCB boards as per requirements for mechanical stability, thermal management, protection from vibration and electrical insulation requirements.

How do you ensure the quality of THT solder joints?

+

Quality is ensured through wave soldering fixtures, skilled manual soldering, post-soldering inspection, 3D microscope inspection, and IPC-A-610 compliance.

How do you clean PCBA boards after soldering?

+

We use automatic cleaning machines to remove flux residues, ensuring clean and reliable PCBA assemblies.

How do you depanel boards after THT assembly?

+

Depaneling is performed using full-automatic or semi-automatic depanel machines to ensure board integrity and smooth PCB edges.

What factors are included in through-hole PCB assembly cost estimation?

+

Cost factors include component quantity, design complexity, material types, and any required custom fixtures or tooling.

What files are required for THT assembly?

+

We require Gerber files, BOM (with MPNs, quantities, and reference designators), and CPL / Pick & Place files. Additional assembly drawings are welcome.
