- Why? After some time, SMT may fell of the board … together with some tracks.

100% ! I have even replaced the pesky HDMI SMD connector with the through hole variety.
Definitely a good hint!
Thank you as always!
Yup, tore off a SMD MicroUSB off a ESP32 breakout board just recently!
Definitely agree that through hole is much stronger and this is really important on a connector. How about an SMT connector with a small number of through hole guides for strength? Is this suitable for getting the space savings of the SMT connector while keeping the strength using the guide posts?
I see that the guys here agree with you. I don't, but there are smd conns with few through holes for mechanical safety those are smd. Also for the case of high speed design do you think through hole connectors are good? And please give me some counter examples.
The "together with some tracks" part really makes me cringe :-x what a terrible experience this would have been on a consumer smartphone! Broke the thing down without any hope of repair...
