THR Reflowlution – Reduce costs with THR
Through-hole reflow technology (THR) revolutionizes your electronics manufacturing: as robust as THT, as efficient as SMT.
Those who consider THR early in the design process benefit from lower manufacturing costs, fewer process steps, and significantly higher process reliability.
THR makes it possible to solder mechanically stable through-hole components together with SMT components in a single reflow process. This reduces process steps, lowers costs, and increases quality.
As an experienced EMS service provider, we support you from layout to series production.
The fast track to lower manufacturing costs
1. One process instead of two
THR eliminates the need for a separate wave or selective soldering process.
Fewer processes = less machine time = lower unit costs
2. Increased process reliability
Less handling, fewer transfers, fewer opportunities for errors.
A clean, reproducible reflow process ensures stable solder joints.
3. Stability without compromise
THT components remain irreplaceable when high forces are involved.
With THR, you get mechanical robustness and modern automation in one.
4. Ideal for series production and redesigns
Whether automotive, industrial electronics, or IoT—THR offers
efficiency gains precisely where volume counts.
When is THR particularly lucrative?
- For designs with robust connectors or power components
- For redesigns with a focus on efficiency or cost reduction
- For reverse engineering of discontinued assemblies
- For projects that require high process reliability
- When components are already available as THR variants
- When series production or automation are the focus
- As part of obsolescence management for old THT assemblies
How does the THR process work?
- Apply solder paste to pads or through holes
- Place SMD components – insert THR-compatible components
- Reflow soldering – solder SMT and THT in one step
The result:
A streamlined, highly automated process with maximum repeatability.
