Key Applications of SMT and THT in the Automotive Electronics Industry


In the modern automotive manufacturing industry, the rapid development of automotive electronics has become a key driver in enhancing vehicle performance, safety, and intelligence. In the manufacturing process of automotive electronic products, Surface Mount Technology (SMT), Through-Hole Technology (THT), as well as Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) soldering and coating equipment, play crucial roles. Below, we will introduce some typical automotive electronic products and their applications in vehicles, as well as the relevant manufacturing equipment choices.

Product Introductions and Applications:


Electronic Control Units (ECU): The ECU is the core of the automotive electronic system, responsible for controlling essential functions such as the engine, transmission, and brakes. SMT technology is used to assemble microchips, resistors, capacitors, and other surface-mounted components on the ECU, while THT technology is used to connect plug-in components. PCBA soldering equipment needs to support both SMT and THT processes.

Dashboard Displays: High-resolution dashboard displays can show vehicle information, navigation, entertainment, and more. SMT technology is used to assemble electronic components such as LED backlights and driver chips behind the display.

Radar and Camera Modules: Radar and camera modules used in autonomous driving and driver assistance systems require high-precision assembly and connections. SMT technology is used to assemble micro-sensors and chips on the modules, while THT technology is used for power and signal connections.

Battery Management Systems (BMS): BMS in electric vehicles is responsible for monitoring and managing battery performance. SMT technology is used to assemble battery management chips and sensors, while THT technology is used for connecting high-current components.

Manufacturing Equipment Choices:


SMT Equipment: SMT equipment is used to assemble tiny surface-mounted components such as chips, resistors, and capacitors. In automotive electronics manufacturing, SMT equipment efficiently achieves precise assembly of electronic components, improving production efficiency and quality.

THT Equipment: THT equipment is used for inserting plug-in components such as connectors and relays. In the automotive electronics field, many functional components still require THT technology for stable connections.

PCBA Soldering Equipment: PCBA soldering equipment is used to connect assembled electronic components, ensuring their stable and reliable connections on the circuit board. Unlike SMT and THT, PCBA soldering equipment supports various soldering processes, such as wave soldering and reflow soldering.

Coating Equipment: Coating equipment is used for protective coating on electronic components and circuit boards to prevent damage from moisture, corrosion, and other environmental factors. This is particularly crucial for automotive electronic products exposed to harsh road and weather conditions.
