When are through hole components recommended over surface mount components, and vice versa? The answer is not always straightforward. In this episode we break down the cost, reliability and application implications of using SMT vs through hole parts in your design.

In this episode we take a broader look at what electronics distributors like Digikey are, what role they play, and what value adds the provide in addition to selling components.
