THROUGH-HOLE [8 records]

Record 1 2023-01-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Welding and Soldering (Metals)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
DEF

Soldering of printed circuit boards by moving them over a flowing wave of molten solder in a solder bath ...

CONT

Flow soldering is a technique used to bulk solder components onto a printed circuit board. This process is typically used when a single sided [printed circuit board] has a medium to high number of conventional or through-hole components. This process is also often referred to as "wave soldering" because of the wave-like motion the molten solder takes when applied to the [printed circuit board]. The circuit board is passed over a bath of molten solder in which a pump produces an upwelling of solder that looks like a standing wave. As the circuit board makes contact with this wave, the components become soldered to the board.

OBS

... the process permits precise control of the depth of immersion in the molten solder and minimizes heating of the board.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electronic Circuits Technology
CONT

Through-hole technology is the mounting process by which component leads are placed into the drilled hole of a bare printed circuit board and soldered to the pads on the opposite side. This can be achieved with either manual assembly or automated insertion mount machines. Through-hole mounting was the standard practice until surface-mount technology(SMT) debuted in the 1980s.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
CONT

When circuit boards have copper on only one side, the circuit holes may require eyelets to help support heavier components.

CONT

One of the major cost savings realized by the roll processors is that the circuit holes can be punched, etched, or laser-drilled prior to metalizing the film. Until recently, it was normal to buy copper clad material only to drill it and have to plate additional copper onto both surfaces in order to get the through-hole connections.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits imprimés et micro-électronique
CONT

La technologie de montage en surface [...] est une méthode de production de circuits électroniques dans laquelle les composants sont montés ou placés directement sur la surface de circuits imprimés [...] Dans l'industrie, [elle] a largement remplacé la méthode de construction à technologie de trou traversant [...] consistant à insérer des composants avec des fils dans les trous de circuit imprimé.

DEF

A hole used for the attachment and electrical connection of component terminations, including pins and wires, to the wiring substrate.

CONT

Component holes are drills for wired components used with through-hole technology. In double-sided or multilayer boards, the holes will be plated through.

Subject field(s)
  • Plating of Metals
CONT

Copper Electroplating. Copper is electroplated from a wide variety of baths for(1) decoration and corrosion resistance(with nickel under chromium),(2) through-hole plating,(3) nitriding stop-off,(4) electroforming(record plating, etc.), and(5) decoration to be usually followed by lacquer.

OBS

electroplating: cathodic plating of metal parts with other metals to improve appearance, protect base metal from corrosive attack, provide a wear-resistant surface, and improve solderability and electrical or thermal conductivity of metal parts. Plating may also be used to build up over machined or worn surfaces.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Placage des métaux
CONT

Le cuivrage électrolytique est l'un des traitements galvanoplastiques de surface les plus utilisés; il permet soit la protection contre la corrosion atmosphérique du fer et de l'acier, soit la constitution d'une couche intermédiaire dans certains traitements électrolytiques (nickelage, chromage), soit la formation d'une réserve (cémentation).
