The Engineering Behind Automated M-Series Connector Assembly: SMD vs. THR

In the world of industrial hardware and PCB design, M-series circular connectors (M8/M12) are the undisputed backbone of data and power transmission. But as modern manufacturing pushes toward 100% automated lines, traditional board-mount connectors often become a frustrating production bottleneck.

If you are currently routing a board or optimizing an assembly line, the big question is: Should you choose SMD (Surface Mount Device) or THR (Through-Hole Reflow)?

Let’s break down the technical paradigm. 👇

📡 RF Engineering 101: Frequency vs. Impedance

Ever wonder why your Wi-Fi drops or your transmitter gets hot? It usually comes down to a mismatch between Frequency and Impedance.

The Quick Breakdown: ⚡ The Skin Effect: As frequency rises, electrons crowd the surface of the conductor. Higher frequency = higher resistance. 🌊 The Reflection: If your connector doesn't match the 50Ω impedance of your cable, the signal "hits a wall" and bounces back. We call this a Reflection. 📉 The Fix: Using precision-engineered components.

INGKE TECHNOLOGY builds the interconnects that bridge the gap. We use 3D electromagnetic simulations to ensure that when your signal hits our connectors, it keeps moving forward—not backward.

Build better. Build with INGKE.
