About THT and SMD Components in a PCB

[dhumx]

Is it possible to both have THT and SMD components in one PCB design? if it is possible, is there any side effects? I'm trying to build a modified FM transmitter and I'm looking at some THT and SMD components to use in my design

yes, it is done all the time, many connectors are THT

it can be a bit of a hassle for mass production because you need two different soldering processes

Yes, this is done all the time. Two soldering processes (infrared/vapour phase oven for SMD & wave/manual soldering for through hole) are required.

Just try & get all the components (SMD & through hole) on the same side of the PCB as this saves quite a bit in production costs.
