Should I use THT or SMD components in the next project?

(Modules and Through hole (THT) or Surface-mount Device (SMD) components?)

What are you most comfortable using in your projects?

It's probably more simpler for people who want to recreate your projects to solder through-hole components compared to SMDs.

THT with socket is helpful for future upgrades or OPAMPs and to test the performance of multiple chips and choose the best for the project.

i guess if the components dont have a lot of pins , then smd is better , but if pins are more , through hole is suitable beacause few people have the access of a hot air soldering machine .

Yeah... Max 😊 but not everyone had hot air station... That's problem

Maybe make a version for each one? I bet the pcb software would treat it the same and not miss a beat. I personally like smd but i bet you could do both.

I'd like to see a challenge with SMD, except provide a simple way we can do so, or even a mox of the two with a majority being through hole and one being smd.

i just ordered a new soldering statio for 90 bucks with a heat gun and a soldering hot plate for total of 125 bucks , i voted for through hole because it will be easy for others.

Unless I could use a hairdryer I’ll be sticking with through hole for now 😂

TH is easier to soldering

SMD. Use 1206 as these are easy enough to solder without proper gear

Woah! I am actually really surprised by the results. I guess for most people SMD seems too difficult? Got to wonder! I find it so much easier! Interesting
