In the field of connectors, surface mount and through-hole welding are the two most mainstream installation methods. Surface mount refers to directly attaching connectors to the surface of a PCB board (printed circuit board), forming electrical and mechanical connections with the PCB board through solder. And through hole soldering is to insert the pins of the connector into the through holes of the PCB, and then form a connection through wave soldering and other methods.
In terms of connector installation efficiency, due to the use of automated equipment for mounting and welding, surface mounting usually has high installation efficiency and can achieve high-speed and high-precision production. Although through-hole welding can also achieve automation, the plug-in process is relatively complex and the production efficiency is relatively low.
In terms of applicability, surface mount connectors are suitable for small, high-density, and highly integrated electronic devices, and are widely used in consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, computers, and tablets. And through hole welded connectors are more suitable for equipment with larger appearance, weight, and higher reliability requirements, such as power modules, relays, etc., and are usually used in industrial control, medical equipment, and other fields.
