Leading the way for over 40 years
Four decades of rich experience in high quality through hole PCB assembly services and manufacturing, is what defines Mer-Mar Electronics! Our USP lies in being equipped with state-of-the-art equipment as also with an experienced team. Importantly on account of the extensive work that we do across industries, we are armed with invaluable industry best practices that ensure that you do not need to reinvent the wheel, when it comes to quality PCB solutions. When you are looking for high-quality PCB assembly solutions which are error-free and are offered with a quick turnaround time, Mer-Mar Electronics is the go-solution.
A modern PCB assembly design has two main methods for mounting components onto a PCB: Through-Hole Mounting and Surface Mounting. We at Mer-Mar Electronics have the necessary expertise in both. In fact, despite the rising popularity of SMT on account of miniaturization of products, through hole PCB assembly technology has held its own on account of the reliability offered by it. Whereas SMT components are secured only by solder on the surface of the board, in case of through-hole components, the leads run through the board, allowing for stronger connections. At Mer-Mar Electronics, we offer a complete range of through-hole capabilities including auto-insertion of components, manual, wave, and selective soldering. Our through hole assembly services are the first choice for products in the military and aerospace industry, on account of their high heat tolerance. Additionally, if your requirement is that of large components that need to withstand high voltage, we are a reliable one-stop shop.

Through Hole Component Placement
We offer both manual as well as auto insertion of through hole (TH) components. While with axial lead components, the leads are placed on both sides of the components, radial components have the leads on one side of the components.
Automated Through Hole PCB Assembly
We use automated through hole assembly method to effectively place radial and axial components. Not only does it lead to reduced errors and improved delivery times, with reduced material handling and labor costs, it is extremely cost effective too.
Manual Through Hole PCB Assembly
This technique is used for low-volume runs as also for custom parts and sub-assemblies attached to the board. Manual assembly is also used in the cleanup of the automated assembly process. These are in instances where components aren’t easily inspected by the automated inspection equipment and a technician is required to verify placement and do any touch ups.

Manual hand soldering stations are used to assemble through hole parts into boards. This is typically used for low volume assemblies, as also prototypes. Manual Solder in through hole PCB assembly takes longer time than usual.
Selective Solder
It helps solder individual through-hole components on a PCB using a solder fountain. Compared to manual soldering, it is faster, repeatable and leads to reliable results.
Wave Solder
Apart from being much faster than manual soldering, wave soldering is also producing joints with a much higher degree of reliability and this makes it ideal for large scale PCB assembly.
PCB Conformal Coating
In through hole PCB assembly, we offer a range of conformal coating options to protect the electronic components against various types of environmental hazards, debris, and aggressive chemicals. Some of these include Acrylic Resin, Parylene, Polyurethane, Epoxy, Silicone and more.
PCB Encapsulation
We offer substantial protection against physical shock and chemical exposure through our PCB Encapsulation services. This is ideal for environments that have prolonged stress and goes a long way in ensuring optimum performance of the electronics.

Through Hole Assembly Process
The broad steps involved in the manual and automated through-hole assembly include:
- Preparing the bare board.
- Manual or automated insertion of components. High speed installation, requires specialised equipment that can place components axially or radially, as per the design requirements.
- Using reflow oven to fix soldering paste appropriately.
- Manual or automated wave soldering to precisely solder through-hole components.
- The use of advanced aqueous washing systems to remove any contaminants from the circuit boards.
- Detailed inspection using different inspection tools and techniques, such as automated optical inspection, X-ray inspection and more.
- Conformal coating as well as device programming, where needed.
- Shipping and Delivery of final through hole PCB assembly.

Through Hole PCB Assembly Testing Capabilities
- In-Circuit Testing: Widely in use for high volume production lines, they help check the soldering and components.
- Automated Optical Inspection: With this inspection, you can rest assured that there are no soldering or component defects.
- Automated X-Ray Inspection (AXI): Known to improve the quality of through-hole circuit, it inspects for short circuits, fills and more.
- Burn-in Tests: These tests are crucial in that they test the reliability of the PCB in the real time environment.
- Assisted Visual Inspection: Visual inspection by experts helps check accuracy of soldering as well as placement of components.
The above robust testing methodologies will ensure that you receive error free PCBs and that you do not need to deal with costly errors at a later stage when your product has hit the market.
