Good morning colleagues,
 
This is a question of robustness.  I have 3 and 4 pin connectors with
0.045" square pins that are on 0.156" centers.
 
I have a choice between SMT and PTH versions.
 
I see the SMT connectors more manufacturing friendly, but I'm concerned
I will meet resistance in using these as there is the belief that they
will not withstand handling shock in the finished product, a shoe box
sized device that is shipped via UPS, DHL or FedEx.
 
What sage wisdom do you have to share?
 
Phil Nutting
