EMS Special 2025: Topic THT
Current developments in the EMS market – with a particular focus on THT assembly
We take a look at current developments in the EMS market – with a special focus on THT assembly. THT assembly (through-hole technology) or PIH assembly (pin-in-hole) demonstrates its strengths in mechanical stress or high currents, for example in power electronics, safety-critical assemblies and robust applications. We present innovations in the THT sector, highlight technical perspectives and give experts a chance to have their say. The EMS special edition has not only been one of the most highly regarded magazines in the annual cycle for years – our online special is also attracting increasing interest and stimulating discussion in the industry about technology trends, process strategies and future topics.
