Hi les

A lot of the more traditional electronic components have pins the pass through the the board & are usually soldered from underneath.

Surface mounted components are soldered directly to pads on the surface of the board.
This allows for the better use of the more modern, multi-layer boards

Components are quite often very small in size .......In fact can be very tiny

Hope you are feeling better after the works party mate
