MIXED PCB ASSEMBLY
ANZ Electric coordinates surface-mount and through-hole processes on one board, matching automated precision with the mechanical and electrical requirements of larger components.

WHY MIXED ASSEMBLY
SMT supports compact, high-density circuitry. Through-hole supports connectors, terminals, high-power devices and components exposed to mechanical load.
Automated placement supports dense layouts, small packages and efficient board use.
Leaded components provide strong mechanical retention for interfaces and larger devices.
A coordinated sequence protects existing joints and maintains access for later soldering and inspection.
COMPONENT MIX
The production route is selected around component form, thermal sensitivity, mechanical load and inspection accessibility.
MIXED ASSEMBLY ROUTE
DFA review defines component spacing, soldering access, thermal constraints and the correct order of operations.
Spacing, access and process order.
Paste, automated placement and checks.
Controlled thermal profile.
Manual, selective or wave route.
Evidence across both technologies.
PROCESS CHOICES
Not every mixed board should follow the same soldering method.
Suitable for limited quantities of accessible connectors or specialist components.
Applies solder to defined through-hole areas while protecting nearby SMT content.
Can support boards with a larger proportion of compatible through-hole components.
Multiple methods may be coordinated when board geometry or component sensitivity requires it.
PREPARE YOUR MIXED ASSEMBLY REVIEW
Clear assembly drawings and special-process notes are particularly important when multiple soldering methods share one board.
Gerber or ODB++, drill files and stack-up.
Packages, lead types, approved alternates and special handling.
Side, polarity, insertion and mechanical requirements.
Acceptance criteria, test access and functional requirements.
