Some collectors prefer to keep the original soldered format for period-correct restoration. Either is defensible; a holder is the more practical choice for an active-play console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong itemprop=\"name\"\u003eWhat's the difference between through-hole and surface-mount holders?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eThrough-hole holders have leads that pass through PCB holes and are soldered on the underside, easier to hand-solder, more mechanically robust. Surface-mount holders solder to pads on top of the PCB, neater, lower profile, but require more delicate soldering. Most retro recap and clock-cap work uses through-hole for ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.zedlabz.com\/en-eu\/collections\/battery-holders.oembed","provider":"ZedLabz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
