Once placed, the leads are soldered to pads on the opposite side. This creates a strong mechanical bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike newer surface mount technologies (SMT), THT has been around for decades. This method ensures robust connections. When vibrations, shocks, or extreme conditions are a concern, THT is the go-to choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/blog\/2025\/05\/23\/what-are-through-hole-technology-domes\/\" title=\"\">through hole technology domes<\/a><\/strong> have earned their place in tough environments.

It\u2019s fast and efficient, perfect for high-volume manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Through-hole mounting<\/strong>, on the other hand, offers superior durability. When it comes to metal dome switches that require precision tactile feedback, THT delivers. The leads go through the board, anchoring the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/products.htm\" title=\"\">metal dome<\/a><\/strong> in place. This makes snap dome switches ideal for devices that undergo frequent pressing, intense use, or face harsh environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While SMT dominates in mobile and compact electronics, THT shines where reliability cannot be compromised. Think aerospace, automotive, industrial machinery, and medical devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_advantages_of_through-hole_technology\"><\/span><strong>What are the advantages of through-hole technology?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Unmatched Mechanical Strength:<\/strong> Components installed using THT are less likely to shift or detach.

It\u2019s a gateway for connectivity and strength. It\u2019s where the magic happens. When the lead of a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/products.htm\" title=\"\">metal dome<\/a><\/strong> or other component enters this hole, it connects two sides of the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also helps stabilize the component. For snap dome switches, the through-hole anchors the dome, ensuring that it won\u2019t move or shift over time. The electrical signal passes through with minimal resistance, providing a fast and reliable response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_different_types_of_through-hole\"><\/span><strong>What are the different types of through-hole?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are generally two types of through-holes used in electronics manufacturing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Plated Through-Hole (PTH): <\/strong>These holes have a conductive plating inside. They are used for both mechanical mounting and electrical connectivity. Most metal dome switches use PTH to ensure both strength and function.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Non-Plated Through-Hole (NPTH):<\/strong> These are not electrically conductive and are used mainly for mounting or alignment. While not as common for switches, they may appear in hybrid designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_installation_process_of_through_hole_technology_domes\"><\/span><strong>What is the installation process of through hole technology domes?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Installing through hole technology domes involves precision and care. Here\u2019s how it typically works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Step 1: PCB Preparation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The circuit board is fabricated with pre-drilled holes according to the design. These are precisely placed for each dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Step 2: Dome Insertion<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/products.htm\" title=\"\">metal dome<\/a><\/strong>, often mounted on a flexible array or in a housing, has its leads inserted into the designated through-holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Step 3: Soldering<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The leads are soldered on the underside of the PCB. This secures the dome both electrically and physically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Step 4: Testing<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Every dome is tested for responsiveness and continuity. This ensures that each snap dome switch works perfectly before assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Step 5: Final Assembly<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The PCB is integrated into the larger device. Whether it\u2019s a medical keypad or an industrial control panel, the dome is ready for action.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/through-hole-technology-domes-3-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"691\" src=\"https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/through-hole-technology-domes-3-1024x691.jpg\" alt=\"What are through hole technology domes?\" class=\"wp-image-3172\" style=\"width:491px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/through-hole-technology-domes-3-1024x691.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/through-hole-technology-domes-3-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/through-hole-technology-domes-3-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/through-hole-technology-domes-3-1536x1037.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.metal-domes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/through-hole-technology-domes-3-2048x1382.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Through-hole installation might take a bit more time than surface mounting.
