Pin-in-Paste provides the same benefits of SMT while maintaining the cost-savings aspects of through-hole technology. The same layout and hole diameters used in the through-hole design can be used in Pin-in-Paste, avoiding the complexities involved in surface-mount while making it more robust and still offering the same true position. The visual inspection, control, and repair are easier with Pin-in-Paste when compared to surface-mount. This technology also offers a faster transition than wave-soldering or press-fit designs.
