Through-Hole PCB Assembly

Advanced Through-Hole PCB Assembly

at Aimtron

Through-hole technology (THT) maintains a significant hold in the ODM sector, primarily due to its unparalleled structural strength. This strength is critical in high-stress or high-power environments where solid lead-to-board connections of THT components prove pivotal. Industries such as aerospace, military, and automotive electronics place a premium on THT because of its inherent reliability. At Aimtron, we continue to recognize and harness the strength of THT in our manufacturing processes, shaping the landscape of robust, reliable electronics manufacturing.

Our comprehensive Thru-Hole PCB Assembly services leverage cutting-edge technologies and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precision, repeatability, and conformance to stringent IPC standards.

We offer a range of soldering techniques, each with unique benefits tailored to the specific requirements of the assembly:

Wave Soldering

Utilizing a controlled conveyor system, our nitrogen-inerted wave soldering process ensures optimal solder wetting and reduced surface tension, delivering rapid, high-quality solder joints for high-volume production runs.

Selective Soldering

Employing a high-precision robotic arm equipped with advanced vision systems, our selective soldering process accurately applies no-clean, lead-free solder paste to specific through-hole leads, minimizing the risk of solder bridging, cold solder joints, and other defects.

CNC Soldering

Leveraging computer-aided design (CAD) data and CNC-controlled soldering equipment, this method ensures accurate and repeatable soldering for assemblies with intricate designs, tight tolerances, and complex component layouts, delivering consistent, high-quality solder joints.

Hand Soldering

Performed by IPC-certified technicians, hand soldering involves the use of ESD-safe soldering stations, premium soldering alloys, and flux materials to apply solder to the through-hole leads manually, ensuring the highest level of precision and control for small-batch productions or prototypes.

In addition to our diverse soldering techniques, Aimtron's Thru-Hole PCBA services include:

  • Precision Component Placement with advanced pick-and-place machines
  • Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) using high-resolution imaging systems
  • In-Circuit Testing (ICT) with custom test fixtures and boundary scan technology
  • High-Mix, Low-Volume Production utilizing lean manufacturing principles
  • Customized Process Engineering with DFMA (Design for Manufacturability and Assembly) optimization
