Raspberry Pi cuts product returns by 50% by changing up its pin soldering

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

Through-hole soldering was a pain for Raspberry Pi , which has made more than 60 million products with it.

SMDs allow for far more tiny chips, resistors, and other bits to be attached to boards by their pins, flat contacts, solder balls, or other connections.

For those things that are bigger, or subject to rough forces like clumsy human hands, through hole soldering is still required.

Now boards have their tiny bits and bigger pieces soldered at the same time through an intrusive reflow soldering process.
