Karen,

  Batteries and anything with nuts on threads are evil pains.

  If the through hole is being hand assembled :-( then every pin is a pain.
Lots of pins mean lots of pain.

  If they are wave solder the THT then who cares how many pins is on the
connector?

Thanks,
Bob Kondner

Subject: [TN] What through-hole components cause the most process issues?

This is for all you process engineers.

What though-hole components cause the most trouble:

those with many high density pins

components with a lot of heat capaticty, such as heat sinks, transformers,
etc.?

Anything else?

Do you wave solder glued  SMT components, are any of these problematic?

Thanks for your help.
