High-Reliability Through Hole Assembly Services
What is Through Hole Assembly?
Through Hole Assembly (THA) is a method of mounting electronic components onto a PCB by inserting component leads through pre-drilled holes and soldering them on the opposite side. This technique provides strong mechanical bonds and is ideal for high-reliability electronic products.
At First Choice Assembly, we specialise in manual and automated through hole assembly, delivering robust, long-lasting PCB manufacturing solutions for various industries.
Our Through Hole Assembly Capabilities
Manual & Automated Through Hole Assembly
We offer both hand-soldering and wave soldering, depending on component type and production scale.
High-Strength Soldering
Through hole soldering ensures mechanical durability, making it ideal for harsh environments and industrial applications.
Component Placement & Lead Cropping
Our precision component insertion, lead trimming, and soldering techniques ensure high-quality, consistent assembly.
Hybrid PCB Assembly
For designs that require both SMT and through-hole components, our hybrid assembly services provide seamless integration.
Testing & Quality Control
To maintain strict quality standards, we perform:
- Automated Optical Inspection (AOI)
- Functional testing & in-circuit verification
- Custom testing for industry-specific applications
