We have a 4×4 plasma cutter and we are happy to cut your metal parts.

In this Operation Game we created a capacitive touch sensor from each of the metal parts. If the user touches the metal with their finger or tool the alarm sounds.

Our plasma cutter can cut:

• Stainless Steel
• Steel
• Aluminum

We also offer CAD Designs to design your parts for cutting.

Through-Hole Mounting:

Through-hole mounting is the process by which component leads are placed into holes on PCB. The process was standard practice until the rise of surface mount technology (SMT) in the 1980s, at which time it was expected to completely phase out through-hole. Yet, despite a severe drop in popularity over the years, through-hole technology has proven resilient in the age of SMT, offering a number of advantages and niche applications: reliability.

Through-hole components are best used for high-reliability products that require stronger connections between layers. Whereas SMT components are secured only by solder on the surface of the board, through-hole component leads run through the board, allowing the components to withstand more environmental stress. This is why through-hole technology is commonly used in military and aerospace products that may experience extreme accelerations, collisions, or high temperatures. Through-hole technology is also useful in test and prototyping applications that sometimes require manual adjustments and replacements.

Overall, through-hole’s complete disappearance from PCB assembly is a wide misconception. Barring the above uses for through-hole technology, one should always keep in mind the factors of availability and cost. Not all components are available as SMD packages, and some through-hole components are less expensive.

THM/THT Advantages:

1) Stronger mechanical bonds than SMT;

2) Good for test and prototyping.
